Is time spent contacting an assistive technology vendor or a doctor regarding assistive technology billable under IFSP Development time?
Time to speak to the AT vendor is not billable unless the vendor has already received an AT authorization. If a provider determines that there is a possible need for AT equipment or devices, the provider must call the Service Coordinator to make the recommendation for an AT evaluation. Time to speak to the Service Coordinator to make a recommendation is considered a consultation and is billable under IFSP development time. It is the responsibility of the child’s service coordinator to speak to the AT vendor concerning the equipment or devices. Time spent to speak to a child’s physician is billable as a consult under IFSP development time. However, the documentation to support a consult with the physician must justify the actual amount of time billed to and paid by the CBO.
