Claims fr c-therapy services must be submitted with mdifier U3. Prir Authrizatin Prir authrizatin fr individual therapy services will be cnsidered when all f the fllwing criteria are met: The client has an acute r chrnic medical cnditin resulting in a significant decrease in functinal ability that will benefit frm therapy services. Dcumentatin supprts treatment gals and utcmes fr the specific therapy disciplines requested. Services d nt duplicate thse that are prvided cncurrently by any ther therapy. Services are within the prvider s scpe f practice, as defined by state law. Texas Medicaid will nt authrize therapy services that duplicate services that are the legal respnsibility f the schl districts. The schl district, thrugh the Schl Health and Related Services (SHARS) prgram, is required t meet the therapy needs f the client while the client is at schl. Hwever, if thse needs cannt be met by SHARS r the schl district, dcumentatin that supprts medical necessity may be submitted fr cnsideratin f prir authrizatin.

A week includes the day f the week n which the prir authrizatin perid begins and cntinues fr ttal f seven days. The number f therapy services authrized fr a week must be prvided in that prir authrizatin week. Claims fr services that exceed thse authrized fr the prir authrizatin week are subject t recupment. A new prir authrizatin request frm, the Request fr Outpatient Physical, Occupatinal, r Speech Therapy (PT, OT, ST) Prir Authrizatin Frm, will replace the Request fr Initial Outpatient Therapy (Frm TP-1) and the Request fr Extensin f Outpatient Therapy (2 Pages) (Frm TP-2).
