Indicate if a patient is receiving rehabilitative or habilitative services
Allow me to indicate if a patient is receiving rehabilitative or habilitative services at our clinic. Some payers require different modifiers for different services and it would be easier if we could just look this up in the patient's information.
There needs to be a place in the daily note where the therapist checks whether the therapy is Habilitative or Rehabilitative so that the appropriate modifiers can be used (similar to how the modifier 59 documentation is included in each note.) Habilitative needs modifier 96 added to their claims.
