Medicaid Question for Outpatient Physical Therapists

[Anonymous PT]

If you work in an outpatient physical therapy clinic, do you see all of your Medicaid patients (including HMO Medicaid replacement plans) under strict direct supervision and one on one? I know they say they follow CMS guidelines but they also say that and then the rules differ wildly in a lot of other areas from what Medicare will allow. I am writing this to see what is the norm because I don't know many outpatient PT's outside of a nursing home setting where everyone is one on one regardless of payor.

I work for a rural hospital, mostly outpatients, and I see all of my patients one on one.
