2005 Minnesota Statutes - 148.6438 — Recipient notification.

     148.6438 Recipient notification. 


    Subdivision 1.    Required notification.  In the absence 
 of a physician referral or prior authorization, and before 
 providing occupational therapy services for remuneration or 
 expectation of payment from the client, an occupational 
 therapist must provide the following written notification in all 
 capital letters of 12-point or larger boldface type, to the 
 client, parent, or guardian: 


    "Your health care provider, insurer, or plan may require a 
 physician referral or prior authorization and you may be 
 obligated for partial or full payment for occupational therapy 
 services rendered." 


    Information other than this notification may be included as 
 long as the notification remains conspicuous on the face of the 
 document.  A nonwritten disclosure format may be used to satisfy 
 the recipient notification requirement when necessary to 
 accommodate the physical condition of a client or client's 
 guardian. 


    Subd. 2.    Evidence of recipient notification.  The 
 occupational therapist is responsible for providing evidence of 
 compliance with the recipient notification requirement of this 
 section.
