Question

which is required of outpatient physical, occupational, and speech therapy services as part of an opap?
○ a. prospective review
○ b. precertification
○ c. preadmission testing
○ d. preadmission certification

Explanation:

OPAP (Outpatient Prospective Payment) requires pre - certification for outpatient physical, occupational, and speech therapy services. Pre - certification is a process where the healthcare provider gets approval from the payer (insurance company) before providing certain services. Prospective review (a) is more of a general term for looking at something before it happens but not specifically tied to OPAP in the context of these therapies. Preadmission testing (c) is related to testing before admission to a facility (like a hospital) and not relevant here. Preadmission certification (d) is also about admission - related processes.

Answer:

B. precertification
