ANS: B
It is important to fill in all spaces on the Medicare 700 form. Failure to complete a section of the form could result in a technical denial. The Medicare 700 form is the Medicare-specified form for outpatient evaluations. Space on the 700 form is limited, and the therapist must be able to con-cisely present data that will clearly demonstrate the need for OT. Many rehabilitation companies and hospitals have modified the 700 form with headings and checklists to assist the therapist in providing the type of information that will support the need for therapy services.
