Abstract

We are honored to have Dr. Dee Adams Nikjeh join us for this session of the Medicare for University Clinics webinar series. The session will focus on defining and illustrating the differences between skilled and unskilled SLP services.  As training institutions, we have an obligation to prepare students to deliver and document skilled services. Medicare Part B outpatient services are required to be of such a level of complexity and sophistication or the condition of the patient shall be such that the services required can be safely and effectively performed only by a qualified therapist. This session will discuss compliance and documentation requirements for the delivery of skilled services as specified by the Medicare Benefit Policy Manual and current ASHA governing documents.
