MODEL LETTER REQUESTING IDENTIFICATION OF EXTENSION LOCATIONS
Dear

(Administrator)

Our records indicate that the facility below is approved in the Medicare program as an outpatient physical therapy/speech pathology provider (OPT/OSP).
Providers, in addition to rendering services on their already approved premises at times render services on the premises of other institutions (e.g., skilled
nursing facilities) or on a premise owned/leased/rented by the OPT/OSP. If the OPT/OSP bills the Medicare program for these services and renders these
services in an area within the institution set aside for rehabilitation care, these premises are considered extension locations of the OPT/OSP. A patient’s home is
not considered an extension location.
Extension locations are considered part of the OPT/OSP and are subject to the same approval policy as is applicable to the OPT/OSP. In addition to meeting
applicable sections of the conditions of participation for all outpatient physical therapy/speech pathology providers, these extension locations fall under the
OPT/OSP provider agreement and are identified under the OPT/OSP provider number.
Below is a form for the purpose of identifying the extension locations of your OPT/OSP. Please complete this form and return it to the State agency listed below
within 30 days. If at any time following completion of this form you plan to delete or add a service or close or add an extension unit, please notify the State agency
immediately. If you have any questions or problems, please call the State agency.
