title: Documentation and reimbursable for driver rehabilitation services.
abstract: Driving is the method of choice to maintain independent community mobility for most older adults. Therefore, occupational therapy practitioners need to evaluate and provide intervention for driver rehabilitation services. Since reimbursement is often seen as a barrier to providing these services, this paper underscores the value of occupational therapy practitioners providing driver rehabilitation services. Appropriate documentation and guidelines for reimbursement from Medicare are addressed with examples of how occupational therapy driver rehabilitation services can be funded by third party payers.
