Keep feeding therapy separate
Allow me to keep feeding therapy separate from other ST or OT services the child may be receiving. We have kids that see an SLP in the morning for speech and a different (or same) SLP in the afternoon for feeding. We would like to keep the goals separate and make sure the primary diagnosis code for that specific service is populated on the document and claim.

This change needs to happen - we have OTs and STs that work on feeding because they have special training to do so. If we can add which therapist also has feeding and give them access to feeding goals that would much improve our experience. Occasionally children have to be seen by other therapists for scheduling reasons and so being able to have the goals carryover would help us very much.

Please make feeding a separate discipline from speech .

Separate feeding and speech therapy data input, as if they are sperate services to reduce lost information. When two therapists are seeing the same child back to back, one for speech and one for feeding it is easy for data input to get lost when the other therapist pulls forward old information.

For us ST and OT both see feeding - it would be helpful to have a separate type (FT) that can be added along with either of those disciplines and allow them to share feeding goals. Thank you!

please consider making feeding therapy a seperate therapy from speech. It would solve so many issues with billing . Thanks

YES! This would also make it easier to ensure only relevant ICD10's are billed with feeding therapy vs combining it with OT & ST.

Please make it so feeding is a separate therapy type so it does not have to have combined ICD10 and goals with speech & OT.

YES please!!! Also it would be good if authorizations could be tracked by the combination of diagnosis code and CPT code so we could count Sally's "traditional" OT visits for gross motor separate from her feeding sessions

Add in additional therapy case (not just OT, PT, ST ) for oral motor/feeding so that the eval and poc may be separated out for this POC, as many children are seen for speech/language therapy and oral function therapy and sometimes by two different treating therapists.
