Does this mean that the on premise supervision for PTA will be suspended until the end of 2022 due to the health emergency being extended into 2022
Yes
Rick, can you please post a resource that states that on premise supervision is suspended under the health emergency. I am unable to find it under CMS or FCSO, our contractor. Thank you, Jodi

I knew of some in-home occupational therapy private practices (billing Medicare Part B with CMS 1500 forms) in New York State that used COTAs without direct supervision – only general supervision – before the Public Health Emergency. I heard that NYS law permitted this but doesn’t federal law supersedes. Could you help clarify this? Thanks Rick!
