Provider Perspective
“You have to utilize your staff and prioritize to make sure things are done appropriately or you’re going to find out that six months down the road you have X number of patients that aren’t compliant with no reimbursement to pay for the RT’s time.”
—Patrick Clevidence, Medical Service Co.
“If people have the ability, they should watch their patients closely. When (patients) get that 21 out of 30 days, (providers) need to get them flipped, get them moving, get them into the doc. It’s a matter of being proactive. Instead of waiting until the denial comes or the patient fails, find out earlier in the treatment, why is this patient struggling? Why is this patient failing?”
—Rebecca Olson, Oxygen One
