The Bottom Line• Advances in neuroscience have provided
neurobiological and behavioral evidence supporting the positive impact of exercise-based protocols in
people with PD
• There is a rapidly growing literature in physical therapy/exercise protocols in humans with PD
• LSVT Programs have been developed and studied over the past 20 years
• LSVT BIG is one type of physical therapy program that has potential to offer improvements in movement
and quality of life for people with PD
LSVT BIG® and LSVT LOUD®
in the Home Health Setting:
BIG challenge or
BIG opportunity?
9/21/2016
30
Challenges• Patient complexity and
disease severity
• Coordination with other health care providers coming into the home
• Specific knowledge needed to support reimbursement and provision of LSVT BIG in the home
Opportunities• Evaluation of real world
function in context
• Training in context- BIG Walking, exercises, etc.
• Increased ease creating salient Functional Component Tasks, Hierarchies and Carryover Assignments
• Caregiver training in context
• Reduced “travel fatigue” for patient
LSVT BIG and Home Health• Traditional home health practice
– Medicare Part A covers skilled need in homebound patients with chronic conditions
– Typically later stage patients with complex medical history
• Outpatient in the home– Medicare Part B reimbursement for home and
community-based care
• ”House calls” -- cash-based practices– All stages of patients --– Done in privacy of home at client’s
convenience

31
Implementation of Intensity
• Is it Reimbursable?
• Is it Practical and Feasible?
• Can patients with Advanced PD or frailty handle therapy 4x/week?
• Is it Applicable to Varied Practice Settings?
YES!
• Eminently reimbursable
– Patients make significant progress
– Medical necessity readily proven in PD
– People with progressive disease get better, even in advance PD!
– Real world experience with 1000+ patients
9/21/2016
32
Is it Reimbursable in Home Health?
YES!– Medicare Part A covers care for homebound
patients
• Jimmo vs. Sebelius– 2013 lawsuit in which resulted in Medicare
covering maintenance as long as skilled care is required.
– Easy to demonstrate LSVT BIG is skilled care
Practical and feasible • High rate of attendance and participation
• May require education of administration and scheduling changes
• Intensity within sessions scaled to patient’s capabilities
• Intensity and repetition across sessions needed even MORE with advanced PD/more complex presentation
9/21/2016
33
Applicable to varied practice settings
• Able to regulate intensity and adapt or progress movements according to patient abilities and safe parameters
• Successful implementation in home health, outpatient, skilled nursing facilities, private practice, etc.
• Can be provided by PT and OT together
LSVT BIG Across the Continuum
THEREFORE:
• LSVT BIG can be started by in-patient therapist
• Transferred to Home Care therapist
• Then to an Outpatient therapist as they improve.
Know your network!!
9/21/2016
34
Later Stage PD patients
• Home Health may be first and only setting
• Home Health LSVT BIG is still LSVT BIG…– Skilled care with first episodes and tune ups
– Basic ADL focus
– PT/OT split
– Caregiver focus
– Single focus on amplitude
LSVT BIG and Maintenance Care
• Marking G codes – Required by Medicare to differentiate patients
who receive skilled care for maintenance purposes
• Skilled home health: Remember that later stage PD patients are not necessarily maintenance patients!– Differentiated with G codes when training for
hand off to caregivers
– Focus on Function to meet Conditions of Participation!
9/21/2016
35
LSVT BIG and Skilled Home Health Documentation
• Starts with OASIS C1 comprehensive assessment
– Establishes “reasonable and necessary” using functional scores for M1800’s
– Establishes criteria for PT/OT collaborative delivery of LSVT BIG
• 2x4 week frequencies each for PT and OT delivering coordinated LSVT BIG protocol
LSVT BIG and Skilled Home Health Documentation
• Break down into Long Term Goals/Short Term Goals
• Focus on calibration improvements for functional tasks
• Focus on clear identification of patient goals and degree of disease self-management
• Focus on graded improvements in caregiver competency for advanced patients
9/21/2016
36
LSVT BIG and Skilled Home Health Outcomes
• LSVT BIG skill contributes to agency publicly reported outcomes and STAR ratings
• Clinical framework for reducing falls, meeting identified skilled need, improving publicly reported outcome ratings for agencies

What is “Advanced” PD?Modified Hoehn and Yahr Scale
• STAGE 0 = No signs of disease.• STAGE 1 = Unilateral disease.• STAGE 1.5 = Unilateral plus axial involvement.• STAGE 2 = Bilateral disease, without impairment of balance.• STAGE 2.5 = Mild bilateral disease, with recovery on pull test.• STAGE 3 = Mild to moderate bilateral disease; some postural
instability; physically independent.• STAGE 4 = Severe disability; still able to walk or
stand unassisted. • STAGE 5 = Wheelchair bound or bedridden unless aided.
Goetz CG, Poewe W, Rascol O, et al. Movement Disorder Society Task Force report on the Hoehn and Yahr staging scale: status and recommendations. Mov Disord. 2004;19(9):1020-28.
Recommended Assessment Tools for Patients with
Advanced PD• PT: Berg, TUG, 10 meter Walk, ABC
• OT: PASS, MOCA or SLUMS, 9 Hole Peg

Functional Component Tasks
1. Sit to Stand
2. Rolling BIG in Bed
3. Stepping BIG at toilet
4. Throwing off bedcovers BIG
5. Reaching for tissue BIG
Hierarchy: Bed Transfers• Week One: Blocked practice
• Week Two: Short sequences, primary caregiver providing cues, sheets vs. sheets plus comforter on bed, varied clothing (pajamas vs. daytime clothing)
• Week Three: longer sequence, primary and paid caregiver providing cues, varied lighting, varied weight of bedclothes eg. added blankets
• Week Four: whole sequence, environmental distractors (television, nearby conversations), internal distractors (urgency for toileting), time constraints, directing new caregiver
9/21/2016
43
Home Health Short Term Goals for Tony
• Short Term Goals– Patient will remove varied-weight bedcovers
using caregiver-cued BIG movements 50% of the time
– Patient will move supine to sidelying with caregiver-cued BIG movements with varied clothing/bed clothing, 50% of the time
– Patient will move sidelying to sitting with rail assist and caregiver-cued BIG movements 50% of the time
Home Health Long Term Goals for Tony
• Long Term Goals– Patient will complete safe transfer supine to
bed edge sit with single caregiver cue to initiate sequence for BIG rolling, and Standby Assistance for BIG sidelying to sit with rail support, 100% of the time
– Patient will independently provide verbal instruction to paid or novice caregiver for set up and positioning for successful completion of BIG transfer supine to bed edge sit 100% of the time
9/21/2016
44
Tony’s Outcomes
• Transfers supine to bed edge sit with single verbal cue, using rail assistance
• Able to instruct caregiver verbally and understandably in steps to sequence for BIG transfer supine to bed edge sit

Address Scheduling Challenges
• Challenge #1: Home Health visits may include vital sign and physical assessment, adding to total visit time
• Challenge #2: Management pressures to reduce weekly frequency to fit number of visits for maximizing reimbursement
• Challenge #3: Medical frailty/co-morbidities may affect plan of care and frequency due to missed visits
The LSVT BIG TEAM Approach!LSVT BIG Certified OT & COTAs
LSVT BIG Certified PTs & PTAs• PTAs or OTAs who are involved in the administration of LSVT BIG must
successfully complete an LSVT BIG Training and Certification Workshop. The PTA or OTA will not be able to deliver the treatment independent of a Certified LSVT BIG PT or OT.
• LSVT BIG Certified PTAs and OTAs may perform tasks as prescribed, directed, and supervised by an LSVT BIG certified PT or OT respectively.
• Assessment of the PTA’s or OTA’s skills with assigned tasks by the supervising PT or OT respectively should be an ongoing, integral element of supervision with frequent feedback provided.
9/21/2016
48
Teaming together with the LSVT LOUD certified SLP’s
• Cross refer- screen and educate
• Screen for need for tune-ups
• Support calibration- don’t let a soft voice slip by
• Understand what that person’s “best” healthy voice quality sounds like
• Educate on functional tasks (e.g. BIG posture or BIG walking) that could be reinforced by the LSVT LOUD clinician
Address Reimbursement Challenges
• Challenge #1: Non-Medicare plans require prior authorization
• Challenge #2: Clear documentation of homebound status required each visit, up to #16, to be 100% reimbursible
• Challenge #3: Skill documentation focusing on therapist actions in modeling, shaping, adding complexity required with functional outcome focus
• Challenge #4: Reimbursement for PT and/or OT requires OASIS functionals score = Medical Necessity
9/21/2016
49
Tune-Up Recommendations
• Establish frequency and number of visits based on assessment findings– Range: 0 -16 visits! Average 4-6 visits
– Continue to follow patients every 3-12 months• More Frequent (every 3-4 months): Atypical PD,
Cognitive Impairments, with changes to DBS
• Less frequent: IPD, Young, healthy, very motivated and adherent to HEP, good support, active
– Remember….PD is forever! You are an important partner on their journey!
Tune-ups are legitimate reimbursable “care” for people with degenerative diseases.
You should establish the tracking schedule for f/u prior to discharge
standard of care.
9/21/2016
50
General Documentation Reminders
– What is skilled?• Requires YOUR skill, instruction and intervention
as a therapist to achieve the goals.
• Could not have been done by lay persons or a care partners or by the patients themselves without you in the picture
– What is medically necessary?• Therapy required for improved safety, quality of life,
decreased disability, etc.
– Is there reasonable expectation of significant progress?
• How can you show that improvement?
Therapy and Homework Quantification Variables
Time to complete daily tasks; functional tasks # reps completed, with comments on your
shaping, assessing and modifying patient behavior
Step size Duration of sustained postures “reported functional improvements” HR average across a session/Borg effort Progression in hierarchies Changes in amount of cued vs. uncued trials
9/21/2016

Statements Supporting Reimbursement
• Mrs. P increased amplitude of upper extremity movements which enabled her to write lists and sign her name legibly on documents.
• Mr. G is now able to don his socks and shoes without his wife’s help or cueing and in less than 1 minute, by using increased amplitude and effort.

In Summary• LSVT BIG and LSVT LOUD are adaptable
for patients at all stages of Parkinson’s Disease
• LSVT BIG and LSVT LOUD are applicable and practical for patients within the home setting using principles of intensity and single focus
• LSVT BIG and LSVT LOUD are reimbursable and important tools in developing comprehensive plans of care and improving publicly reported outcomes
