PT Northwest has been recognized as an Outpatient Rehabilitation Facility (ORF) under Medicare since 1997. Unlike Medicare Physical Therapists and Independent Practices, ORF facilities are held to a much higher standard of care. We are required to go through annual reviews by Medicare, including on-site surveys. Other requirements include:

• Annual review of all patient care policies and procedures by a physician
• Annual review by an outside company of all therapy equipment
• Annual review of all clinic locations for accessibility issues by a physically disabled individual
• Annual review of all infection control and aseptic techniques
• Annual review and training for handling medical emergencies and natural disasters, such as fire, earthquake, and explosions.
• Quarterly quality assurance review of a random sample of active and discharged patients
• Annual statistical evaluation of admissions and discharges into the ORF

We adhere to all of these requirements and reviews because we want to make sure our patients are receiving the highest level of progressive, comprehensive care. To learn more about our insurance and Medicare billing policies, please call 503-540-5701.
