Best Practices and Clinical Documentation for Mobility Assistive Equipment (MAE)

University of Pittsburgh, • Pittsburgh, PA

This 4-hour online/on-demand seminar is the FIRST NATIONAL PROGRAM on MAE documentation. It includes 5 video lectures with Power Point presentations that walk through the new Medicare Coverage Policies and what is required to document a patient’s need for MAE. This seminar is particularly useful for Physicians and Therapists to better understand how existing clinical documentation standards can reflect what Medicare will look for as evidence in a post-payment audit of suppliers. Specific case examples of assessment and documentation are provided. Attendees can also download sample templates to use in their practice.
