Correction

I wrote recently in this blog that I had found out all one needed for PT (physical therapy) services to be administered in one's setting was a doctor's order for "homebound".  I am wrong.  Prior to having these services in place, a nurse is sent to evaluate the patient -- presumably for Medicare compliance, and if the person can be taken by anyone to a PT facility, the order for "homebound" is denied.  So.  Back to driving 2 hours to take him to a 45 minute session, or stop the therapy.  Does anyone out there have better/more information?
