In this case, although the error started from the transmission of the discharge note to the home health care agency, Physical Therapist and Physical Therapist Assistant made number of mistakes in terms of clinical practice and delegation. First of all, completion and accuracy of patient’s physical therapy record is a professional responsibility of a supervising Physical therapist.1(p4) However, the PT failed to read the hospital discharge referral and documented incomplete and inaccurate plan of care. As a result, important information such as un-cemented prosthesis in situ and weight bearing limitations were not documented. In addition to that PTA elected to follow a protocol for cemented hip arthroplasty without referring back to PT for the missing information in the assessment. According to Texas Board of Physical Therapy examiners rule, “PTA may not specify and/or perform definitive (decisive, conclusive, final) evaluative and assessment procedures.”1(p5) Hence, it was also a mistake of the PTA to conclude the assessment and elect the inappropriate plan of care.

Your post is very interesting, and very true in how MA get paid more than billing and coding. I do believe now in days when taking a class in medical assistant they teach the basic and there are offices now were MA do a little of everything. I do agree with you in how the organization like AAPC and AAMA help those who are in need of employment and helping keep pay rates fair depending on the area of market and also helping to continue education for those who are willing to feather there career. I do believe in joining an organization is worth it because you will receive the education that you need to succeed and in the other hand there will be a price to pay is it worth it (Yes) I do. Great post
