title: Status report on reimbursement for occupational therapy services.
abstract: Reimbursement sources for occupational therapy are growing, not diminishing, but the ability to increase reimbursement through these new sources is becoming more difficult. Collecting efficacy data and documenting services provided are important methods for increasing reimbursement. If the quality of occupational therapy services remains high, reimbursement is more likely to follow.
