Education Library: Featured New Course

Best Practices in Documentation for Rehab Providers - Documentation is a critical component of therapy services. Individuals who review the medical record will never see the therapy sessions, so providers have to “tell the story” by including the necessary components to justify services for reimbursement. This course covers general guidelines for documentation, components to improve documentation, and special considerations. Practical examples are included.

Additional new courses
