Phil is a 43-year-old outpatient with a diagnosis of right rotator cuff tear with surgical repair. His insurance will only cover six OT sessions. How could you provide therapy to Phil for the length of time that he needs without exceeding his insurance limits?
  1. See Phil for extra-long sessions, so you can get as much done at one time as possible.
  2. See Phil once per week. Set him up with a thorough home exercise and modality program to complete between sessions.
  3. See Phil at the normal frequency and hope he heals up quickly.
  4. Tell Phil to get new health insurance.
Explanation
Answer: B. You could provide therapy to Phil for the length of time he needs by seeing him once per week. Also, set him up with a thorough home exercise program, including any modalities that Phil can administer himself. Phil can complete these tasks on his own between therapy sessions. If therapy is provided this way, Phil will receive six weeks of therapy, and you will be better able to monitor his progress.
