Audiologists
and SLPs who work in inpatient and home health care settings and supervise
graduate students, clinical fellows (CFs), and assistants need to comply with
payer requirements to avoid denials or unfavorable audits that could lead to recoupment
and civil or criminal penalties. This webinar will outline the state and
federal legal supervision requirements as well as payment considerations when
supervising students and support personnel. The webinar will explain how to
document the services provided by students, CFs, and assistants; how and when
to bill; and the level of supervision required across practice settings,
including hospitals, inpatient rehabilitation facilities, and skilled nursing
facilities.
