This provides an outline of specific settings and Medicare's guidelines in terms of student supervision. For example, in a hospital setting, patients with straight Medicare are only to be treated by students when a supervisor is directly present. However, different rules apply for other insurances. For example, CareSource does not require supervisors to be directly present during a treatment session conducted by a student. For those of you interested in becoming a fieldwork educator, this is extremely important information to become familiar with and understand- you don't want services to be denied because the incorrect level of supervision was provided with your student!
