CMS Proposed Rule 2024: Updates for Rehab Therapy
Summary
In another positive outlook, CMS re-evaluating direct supervision of PTAs and OTAs in private practice–with a request for public comment on the subject. Other changes for PTAs and OTAs include an extension of virtual supervision and a general supervision-only requirement for Remote Therapeutic Monitoring (RTM). According to the QPP resource site: “Each MVP includes a subset of measures and activities that are related to a specialty or medical condition to offer more meaningful participation in MIPS.” Ultimately, these reporting pathways strive to promote care collaboration, continuous care improvement, shared financial risk, and improved value in healthcare delivery.
