CMS has awarded a five year contract to RTI International (RTI) to collect data, conduct analyses, and report the results. To complete the contract, RTI will: (1) develop a data collection strategy, including the recruitment of therapy providers to participate in data collection, (2) analyze the resulting data to identify payment alternatives to therapy caps, and (3) engage with the stakeholder community closely throughout the project. Outpatient therapy services are furnished in such diverse settings as hospital outpatient facilities, skilled nursing facilities (SNF), comprehensive outpatient rehabilitation facilities (CORF), and outpatient rehabilitation facilities (ORF). In addition, outpatient therapy services may be furnished by individual practitioners including physical therapists in private practice (PTPP), occupational therapists in private practice (OTPP), physicians, and specified non-physician practitioners (NPP) as permissible by state law. In order to compare beneficiary needs across these settings, it is important to collect these data using similar items across settings and disciplines. Although there currently exist assessment instruments for outpatient therapy, the item definitions and rating scales differ across these instruments and these instruments have not been tested in the full range of Medicare patients and therapy settings. These differences in the existing assessment instruments make it difficult to compare patient function and clinical characteristics across them.
