Synopsis "Medicare physical therapy: self-referring providers generally referred more beneficiaries but fewer services per beneficiary: report to congressi (in English)"
" Rising Medicare expenditures for PT services have long been of concern, and questions have been raised about the role of self-referral in this growth. Self-referral occurs when a provider refers patients to entities in which the provider or the provider's family members have a financial interest. GAO was asked to examine self-referral for PT services and Medicare spending for these services. This report examines (1) trends in the number of and expenditures for self-referred and non-self-referred Medicare PT services and (2) how provision of these services differs among providers on the basis of whether they self-refer. GAO analyzed Medicare Part B claims data from 2004 through 2010 and examined three measures of PT referral for each referring provider: number of PT services referred, number of beneficiaries referred, and number of PT services provided per beneficiary. GAO compared PT referrals for self-referring and non-self-referring providers after accounting for referring provider specialty, Medicare beneficiary practice size, and geographic (urban or rural) location. GAO also compared selected characteristics of the beneficiaries referred by self-referring and non-self-referring providers. The Department of Health and Human Services stated that it had no comments on a draft of this report"
