BREAKING NEWS! CMS Update
CMS has finalized some of the proposals that were made in the April CFR record. Most notable is the provision for group therapy change. The new definition of group therapy in a SNF is: "Group therapy consists of two to six patients doing the same or similar activities". It is especially important for facilities with smaller Medicare populations to understand that the patients do not all have to be in Medicare A to be part of the group.
