OT Correspondence – November 2017 No. 1. Yocheved Kleinerman, OT: Ms. Kleinerman asked the Section questions regarding whether

OT1 November 2017 Yocheved Kleinerman, OT [email protected] Dear Ms. Kleinerman: This letter is in response to your correspondence regarding whether occupational therapists can perform pelvic floor therapy and if CEU's related to this can be applied to licensure renewal. Pelvic floor therapy would appear to be a specialty practice area for occupational therapists and training emphasizing these skills would be necessary for safe/effective practice. Continuing education credits in this area would seem most appropriate to maintain skills and remain up-to-date with this type of intervention. According to Ohio rules and laws, occupational therapy is defined below, along with information regarding obtaining CEU's on various topics. 4755.04 Definitions. As used in sections 4755.04 to 4755.13 and section 4755.99 of the Revised Code: (A) “Occupational therapy” means the therapeutic use of everyday life activities or occupations with individuals or groups for the purpose of participation in roles and situations in the home, school, workplace, community, and other settings. The practice of occupational therapy includes all of the following: (1) Methods or strategies selected to direct the process of interventions, including, but not limited to, establishment, remediation, or restoration of a skill or ability that has not yet developed or is impaired and compensation, modification, or adaptation of activity or environment to enhance performance; (2) Evaluation of factors affecting activities of daily living, instrumental activities of daily living, education, work, play, leisure, and social participation, including, but not limited to, sensory motor abilities, vision, perception, cognition, psychosocial, and communication and interaction skills; (3) Interventions and procedures to promote or enhance safety and performance in activities of daily living, education, work, play, leisure, and social participation, including, but not limited to, application of physical agent modalities, use of a range of specific therapeutic procedures to enhance performance skills, rehabilitation of driving skills to facilitate community mobility, and management of feeding, eating, and swallowing to enable eating and feeding performance; (4) Consultative services, case management, and education of patients, clients, or other individuals to promote self-management, home management, and community and work reintegration; (5) Designing, fabricating, applying, recommending, and instructing in the use of selected orthotic or prosthetic devices and other equipment which assists the individual to adapt to the individual’s potential or actual impairment; (6) Administration of topical drugs that have been prescribed by a licensed health professional authorized to prescribe drugs, as defined in section 4729.01 of the Revised Code. (B) Acceptable continuing education activities may include: (1) Attending professional workshops, seminars, and/or conferences. There is no limit of contact hours in this category. (a) Credit is obtained by attending presentations that have either been sponsored or approved by the occupational therapy section, the American occupational therapy association (AOTA), the Ohio occupational therapy association, offered by an AOTA approved provider, or which meets the following criteria: (i) It contributes directly to professional competency; (ii) It relates directly to the clinical practice, management, or education of occupational therapy practitioners; and (iii) It is conducted by individuals who have demonstrated expertise in the subject matter of the program. (b) Prior approval from the section is not required if paragraphs (B)(1)(a)(i) to (B)(1)(a)(iii) of this rule have been met. The Section thanks you for your correspondence and appreciates your understanding that it is your professional responsibility to remain current with professional standards.

OT3 November 2017 Julie Wood, OTR/L OT006395 [email protected] Dear Ms. Wood: This letter is in response to your correspondence requesting clarification on HIPAA requirements and electronic billing. The Ohio Occupational Therapy Laws and Rules do not speak specifically to HIPAA requirements. As health care professionals, OT practitioners must abide by HIPAA in regards to protecting a client's privacy with respect to care provided and the medical record. Telephone conversation should be exchanged only if the receiver can be identified as someone who has permission to be involved in the case by using something like a code word as an identifier. Emails should be encrypted to prevent access to protected information via the internet. Information exchange via fax is unpredictable and could result in information exposure as a wrong number could be utilized or someone not authorized to pick up the information may be on the receiving end. The Section thanks you for your correspondence and appreciates your understanding that it is your professional responsibility to remain current with professional standards. Please visit the Board’s website (http://otptat.ohio.gov) to review the Occupational Therapy Practice Act and other information related to the regulation of occupational therapy in Ohio.

OT4 November 2017 Anne Weirich, OTR/L OT006946 [email protected] Dear Ms. Weirich: This letter is in response to your correspondence regarding whether occupational therapist can perform cupping. The Ohio Occupational Therapy Laws and Rules do not specifically speak to an occupational therapist's ability to perform cupping as part of intervention. Education and skills training in cupping would be necessary for safe and effective use of cupping as an intervention as is with all other modalities used to aid in achieving treatment outcomes. Competence in the modality is of upmost importance, along with the occupational therapist being able to specify an understanding of the rationale behind using such a treatment modality. The Section thanks you for your correspondence and appreciates your understanding that it is your professional responsibility to remain current with professional standards.

If a client comes into an outpatient clinic who is either on the Jon Peterson Scholarship or Autism Scholarship, and has a current IEP from their home school district, should the outpatient clinic still do a formal OT evaluation? Thank you!



OT5 November 2017 Joann Schweikert, OTR/L OT008783 [email protected] Dear Ms. Schweikert: This letter is in response to your correspondence requesting clarification on performing occupational therapy evaluations in an outpatient clinic setting. It is permissible for children to receive OT services in the school system and as an outpatient simultaneously. Children qualify based on test scores to receive therapy services in the school setting according to qualifications set by the State of Ohio. Children would need to be evaluated by the occupational therapist they are receiving services from outside the school setting on an outpatient basis and results of these evaluations would guide plan of care development for outpatient OT treatment. The OT Section cannot speak to billing/scholarships in the above situation as we do not have jurisdiction to provide guidance in this area. The Section thanks you for your correspondence and appreciates your understanding that it is your professional responsibility to remain current with professional standards.

Hello, I have a question regarding whether the services we provide at a community-based non-profit called fall within the scope of practice of PT and OT as acknowledged by the Ohio OT, PT, and AT Board. Our organization runs developmental play groups for children, facilitated by therapists. These groups are designed and implemented by therapists with a focus on developmental skills like fine motor coordination, balance, motor planning, social skills, sensory processing, and more. We do not provide evaluations or individualized therapy treatment, but we do modify the group activities to target needs of the children in the group and to accommodate for limitations. We would like to know whether this type of service is recognized by the licensure board for PTs and OTs as a non-traditional or alternative practice setting that still falls within the scope of our practice as therapists. We would like to request written documentation from the board indicating that our services are recognized as falling within our scope of practice that we could keep on hand in order to ensure that our professional liability insurance would cover us. You can find more information about who we are and what we do here: thetreehousebedford.org. Please feel free to call 216-406-4988 with any questions. Thank you for your time! Claire Heffron
