Course Description:

Group therapy has a unique role in rehabilitation and can be an effective addition to your individual therapy interventions to maximize the total dose of therapy received. The job of the rehabilitation therapist is to determine the clinical value of group therapy to each individual patient, identify the appropriate group therapy intervention, and be able to justify the clinical need for this intervention through documentation. With changing group therapy protocols and procedures along with reimbursement requirements and guidelines, it is important that therapists stay up to date with how to implement this therapy modality. Current definitions, billing guidelines, and evidence-based suggestions for implementing group therapy are presented in this course. This comprehensive look at group therapy takes you from patient selection to actual group protocols.
