I still believe that diagnostic treatment has its place, especially at the beginning of the session. It may determine the course of your session, based on pt's needs that day. Of course, it needs to be followed up by other treatment (compensation, rehabilitation, etc), but to discredit it completely as "evaluation" put me off.

I agree with another reviewer, the title of this course is misleading. The presentation is more about why we shouldn't use certain terms (like "observed" or "seen" or "tolerated") in documentation, in order to get reimbursed.

While the objectives as stated were addressed, i found the title misleading and the speaker to be rushed at times, making it difficult for me to process the information. I liked her examples except that beyond telling us what NOT to say, she didn't do much to offer alternatives for strong therapy notes

Clear, concise information. Presenter is knowledgeable about topics. It was helpful to have therapy notes looked at critically.

I feel the course should be listed under level "basic" not "advanced, this would have been very helpful to know this ahead of time.Repetitive basic concepts, discusses what SLPs should not do on a very basic level (treatment vs eval activities), but to what SLPs should do on a specific level during therapy sessions...learning objective: "After this course, participants will be able to describe 2-3 principles of exercise science and neurorehabilitation principles as they apply to the treatment of dysphagia." I feel the speaker did not apply principles of exercise science and neurorehab to actual functional treatment examples, but rather gave basic definitions of these

While I see where the presenter was going in regards to the repeat "assessment" form of "treatment" I see some SLPs doing, I think it was a bit irresponsible to state that ongoing assessment of swallow function and trialing upgrades would be considered assessment in which an evaluation code would be warranted. This would definitely not be the case in the SNF setting. I am glad it was brought up in the questions at the end. Part of treatment is to advance the diet and frequency of the assessment is highly dependent on the pt and their medical conditions. Some patients require very little PO assessment and others more. I also find it beneficial to note the percentage the pt consumed to know how the pt is "tolerating" their current diet over a period of time (and also the reports by caregivers are not reliable where I work). Sure a person may not have s/s of aspiration at beginning of meal but they may fatigue by the end of a meal. It really is case specific and some SLPs are new and developing their clinical skills, and this may be a continuing education they are receiving. They may walk away feeling unsure of what to do about upgrading people and doing necessary assessments of swallow function as part of their treatment sessions. With that said, I am glad treatment was stressed b/c I agree watching a pt eat/drink repetitively, without purpose, is not rehabilitation and would be considered a waste of time and resources.

While it was good to challenge the frequently found documentation issues (T words and such) it would have been important to present good models. If being critical about documentation and therapy concepts, it is important to model with skilled ones. That I found missing. Also, there is a high percentage of population that is cognitively not able to do exercises and family is unavailable to be educated. It puts the SLP a little on an isolated island with the patient. A model of therapy provision for this population would have been helpful.

Presenter was unclear when explaining "untimed" when it comes to service based CPT code, in how much time to devote to each service code. She tended to go on tangents or make joking, sarcastic comments that were indulgent, in my opinion. Maybe it's because she's been in the field a while and has such a wide experience, but I grew tired of some of sarcastic tone and found to be annoying/unprofessional.

DOCUMENTATION TO SUPPORT REASONABLE AND NECESSARY SERVICES
by
Member
on
December 27, 2019
Some of the information presented could be perceived as inaccurate or misleading. For example, the instructed stated a treatment where the therapist is sitting with the patient during a meal giving verbal cues for rate and compensatory strategies to be non skilled. That is not true. Skilled treatment comes from the verbal cues provided by a skilled therapist to decrease the risk for aspiration that a layperson cannot provide. That can be completed during a therapeutic feeding or "meal observation" though i would not document it as simply an observation. Also, most of the information appeared very basic, as if for a student not a practicing clinician.

I appreciated the review and applications of the principals of exercise in this lecture. I continued to feel ambiguous about codes. See below. You are welcome to share my name with the course instructor if there may be follow up. I take concerns with recommended parameters for evaluation vs. treatment. There appeared to be encouragement to increase utilization of evaluation codes. I understand that we do not have a re-evaluation code, however, if we were to "re-evaluate", per the Medicare Benefit Policy Manual, this would note that re-evaluation is "periodically indicated during an episode of care when the professional assessment of a clinician indicates a significant improvement, or decline, or change in the patient's condition or functional status that was not anticipated in the plan of care". Dynamic assessment of response to a compensatory modification, be that response to a strategy, challenge diet modification, etc. seems to be inherent in the expected course of treatment, unless, as above, an evaluation is warranted due to unanticipated changes in the patient's medical course. Will the above education encourage evaluation codes to be billed with limited documentation of medical necessity for such codes?
