What does a Range Order specify?

• A. The exact date to start services
• B. A date range for services
• C. The patient's visit date
• D. The required therapy types

Answer: (B)

A Range Order sets the window during which services are authorized. It specifies a date range for services, giving scheduling flexibility within that period rather than locking in a single fixed start date. This helps ensure care can be delivered on any day inside the approved timeframe while staying within the authorization. It doesn’t prescribe the exact day a visit must occur or list the specific therapy types—that information comes from the Plan of Care and treatment notes. Understanding that this order defines timing helps with proper scheduling, reimbursement, and care continuity.
