Can you please clarify if the following CMS Waiver:
Allow Occupational Therapists (OTs), Physical Therapists (PTs), and Speech Language Pathologists (SLPs) to Perform Initial and Comprehensive Assessment for all Patients, has been made permanent?
Rehab professionals can or cannot perform Initial and Comprehensive Assessments when nursing is not ordered?
Thank you
