Frequently Asked Questions

1. Am I a Medicare Part B beneficiary?

Applicants   must   have  Medicare  Part B
benefits.      While    most    recipients   of
Medicare benefits have both Part A and B,
we at Timeless Therapy assist you to verify
Part   B  coverage.    On   occasion   some
recipients  have   Medi-care  Part  A  only.

Candidates  will  obtain  a prescription for
therapy   services   from   a   doctor    they
have seen  in  the past  30 days.   Timeless
Therapy will assist candidates in obtaining
a prescription  upon  request.   Candidates
cannot   receive   services   from   a  home
health  agency   while  obtaining  services
through Medicare Part B.

2. How does the patient get started?

Just give  us  a  call   at  305-405-6585 if  you
live in Miami-Dade County and 954-454-2345
if you live in Broward County.

3. How will a therapist know  the length  of time
    and frequency of the therapy treatment?

After   we   verify    eligibility,    a  therapist
will  visit   the  patient  in  their  home  and
conduct    a    written    evaluation.      This
evaluation  will dictate  the  length of   time
and frequency of treatment, which will  vary depending on patient diagnosis, endurance,
and plan of treatment. Treatments can  vary between  10  to  90  minutes  in length  and frequency  may   be  between   two  to  five
times per week.

4. Can a  patient  receive  physical therapy  and     occupational therapy at the same time?

Yes. Timeless therapists will coordinate  the
two  disciplines  to  ensure  the  patient  has
time to rest between treatments.  Often,  the therapist  will coordinate one  discipline  in
the morning, and the other in the afternoon,
or schedule alternate days.

5. Does the patient have to pay for this service?

Timeless Therapy invoices Medicare for the therapy  service.    As  a  Medicare   Part  B
recipient,   the  patient   has  a 20%  co-pay.
This co-pay may be paid by a supplemental insurance plan. Candidates  should  consult
their    insurance   carrier   regarding   their
co-pay.

6. If the patient has Medicaid  as the secondary
    insurance,  does it cover the  cost of the  20%
    co-pay?

In the event the patient has Medicare  and Medicaid, the law  requires  that  Timeless
Therapy wave the co-pay.

7. Is the patient eligible for therapy  services by     Timeless Therapy if the individual is enrolled
    in the Long Term Care Division Plan?

Yes.   The  Long  Term  Care Division  Plan
does not  replace  your  Medicare  benefits,
but  supplements  the  benefits  you receive under Medicare as a co-pay insurer.

8. Is the patient eligible for therapy  services  by    Timeless Therapy if an HMO is managing their    Medicare benefits?

No.    When  a  patient is  enrolled  with an
HMO,  the patient  must contact the HMO to determine  eligibility and  their  network  of providers.

9. If a  patient  is  on  hospice,  can  the  patient
    receive    therapy    services   from   Timeless
   Therapy?

No.   The  hospice  program  is an umbrella
plan  of  care.   In  such  cases,  the  patient
needs    to  coordinate    with   the   hospice provider.

10. If the patient is receiving insulin or B-12 shots
     by  a   home  health  agency,   is  the  patient
     eligible   for   therapy   services  by  Timeless
     Therapy?

No.   If the  patient is receiving services by a home health agency under Medicare Part A,
the program does not allow therapy services
by Timeless Therapy under Medicare Part B. The patient  would  need to  coordinate with
the home health agency.
