If how to use the 8-minute rule is confusing to you, you\u2019re not alone. That\u2019s why this week on The Amplify OT Podcast, I am answering a listener question on the 8-minute rule of billing!\r\n\nIn this episode, I cover:\r\n\n\n When you will use the 8-minute rule\r\n\n What the 8-minute rule means and how you can apply it in billing.\r\n\n Timed codes vs. untimed codes.\r\n\n Where you might get tripped up in billing and why it can sometimes be referred to as the 15-minute rule.\r\n\n How you can use your time wisely and ensure you are getting paid for the care, you are providing.\r\n\n\nBilling is such a complex situation, so it is important for you to always go to the source and seek out accurate information.\r\n\nThanks for listening!
