Treatment days should be used as medically appropriate for that beneficiary’s specific treatment plan. For example, if 15 treatment days of medically necessary therapy are approved, the patient would follow the plan of care which specifies the patient receive therapy treatment three days a week for five weeks. If the patient has services in the morning, leaves and returns in the afternoon for more services, those services all done on the same date apply to one treatment day of approved treatment.
