The physician coordinates the involvement and participation of a private physical therapist and the patient's adult daughter, the patient's power of attorney, and the private home aide who provides assistance with the patient's ADLs. According to the patient's daughter, the patient will not leave her home but received adequate care from the home aide, with positive results from the physical therapy. Over the course of 1 calendar month, the physician spends 35 minutes in supervision of documented physical therapy records, laboratory results, and telephone conference with the patient's adult daughter and home aide. Which of the following best reflects the service(s) provided?
a. Non–face-to-face physician services
b. Care plan oversight services
c. Case management services
d. Domiciliary, rest home (e.g., assisted living facility), or home care plan oversight services
d) Domiciliary, rest home (e.g., assisted living facility), or home care plan oversight services (because the patient lives in her own private home, and the physician is individually supervising the care provided to the patient, and the patient is not under care of a home health agency, but receiving care from private therapists, the domiciliary, rest home (e.g., assisted living facility) or home care plan oversight services is the most appropriate service.)
