PT ONLY

in Home Care Coding General

If a patient is referred for PT only who is morbid obese and has COPD, oxygen use, chronic anemia, SOB, OSA with CPAP, bipolar/schizo, dyslipidemia and acute respiratory failure... Do we code all these as well even though the patient is only ordered to be seen by PT.

    code what is likely to impact the POC. Anything respiratory related would impact the poc bc it would be a barrier for endurance and exercise tolerance. bipolar/schizo I would say yes bc the mental status will impact the patient's compliance to the poc. dyslipidemia do not code. it does not apply to poc.
