Supervision of Therapy Students Under the Medicare Program
I receive several questions per week regarding the supervision requirements of student physical, occupational and speech therapists, student physical therapist assistants and student occupational therapy assistants when they are treating Medicare patients. In this article, I will give the answers to the following questions:
- What are the supervision requirements of students when they are treating Medicare beneficiaries receiving outpatient therapy services?
- What are the supervision requirements of students when they are treating Medicare beneficiaries receiving therapy services in a skilled nursing facility under Part A benefits?
- What are the supervision requirements of students when they are treating Medicare beneficiaries receiving therapy services in an inpatient rehabilitation facility?
- What are the supervision requirements of students when they are treating Medicare beneficiaries receiving therapy services in the inpatient acute care setting?
Lets begin!

Do these same supervision rules apply for Medicaid also? Does this vary state to state?
Medicaid is not the same as traditional Medicare. You would need to look at your state Medicaid plan.
How do the rules apply to provisional license holders that have graduated but not yet passed the boards?
Once a student graduates, they are no longer a student so this article would not apply to them. They are also not a therapist since they are not licensed.
