Separate Benefit Discussion Paper

To allow an opportunity for dialogue and comment, the Separate Benefit Work Group has published a Discussion Paper entitled "A Starting Point For Obtaining A Separate Benefit For Complex Rehab Technology". The 24 page document was created to allow individuals and organizations within the Complex Rehab Technology industry and profession, along with other interested parties, to engage in more detailed discussions regarding the pursuit of a Separate Benefit under the Medicare program, the related elements of implementation, and its potential impact on stakeholders. It is not a finished product, but rather a starting point so stakeholders have some level of detail to review and respond to. A copy of the Discussion Paper can be obtained at www.ncart.us under the "Current Issues" section.
