Evaluation of the client in his/her home or other appropriate setting will be conducted in order to evaluate the client for a proper seating and/or mobility system. The AT professional will determine if there are any physical deformities and/or limitations such as pelvic obliquities, scoliosis, contractures, fixations, etc. that need to be addressed by an occupational therapist or physical therapist.
NOTE: Medicare and some private insurance companies require seating and mobility systems to be evaluated/recommended by a licensed occupational or physical therapist.
The Counselor should secure the signature of the client on the MDRS-AT-02 before authorization is issued. A signed copy should be given to the client and the original must be retained in the case file. During the delivery of the seating and mobility system, the Agency AT professional should secure the signature of the client on the MDRS-AT-03. A signed copy should be given to the client and the original must be retained in the case file.
