I work for a private school (has a non-public status) for special needs
children in Rockville, MD. I currently have a graduate intern who I
supervise for therapy and evaluations. I was recently told by my
adminstrators that I am unable to bill for any therapy sessions she has
performed since a) I have students who are billed through Medicaid
because of b)she does not have any credentialing info from the
licensing board (no of course not, she is a student). Of course, I
supervise majority of therapy sessions and sign off on ALL of her
documentation (progress notes, evaluations). My school is VERY NEW to
using speech interns and does not really understand the whole process.
Can anyone tell me if there is any substantial information out there on
this topic. Thanks!
