| #OTalk @OTalk_ Question 1) #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @sherlynmelody: |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Always good to lurk a little #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @sherlynmelody I am in skilled nursing facilities in the USA. Very small % of patients are in there via private pay. After all, rates for a spot is already expensive! #otalk |
 | Chloe Dickson @chloedickson_ @sherlynmelody Hi, I’m a children and young people OT, we frequently get asked by parents about direct payments they can receive for their child. We would usually point them in the direction of money maters or SW #otalk |

| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @CeeCeeOT: |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @sherlynmelody I heard nursing homes in my neck of the woods cost up to about $5000 USD a month. This can add up if you are a long term resident at these things. #otalk |
| Sarah Pender @louswaiting @sherlynmelody @otfrancesca #OTalk we do recommend items for people to purchase and if they are unable to purchase these we would consider a direct payment |
| CatherineGreenlaw @c__greenlaw @sherlynmelody @otfrancesca @louswaiting I see Direct Payments as agreat bit of kit in our OT tool box to enable meaningful occupations #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Agree #otalk any examples of how they've been used? |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @hayleyot1: |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @sherlynmelody Since I am in the nursing home setting, so it goes to quite a bit of folks- rehab (if patients are on it), nursing, as well as administrative costs. #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Question 2) #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @CeeCeeOT: |
| Chloe Dickson @chloedickson_ @sherlynmelody Parents would use payments to aid towards equipment, care for the child or ability to complete meaningful occupations with any support required. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT If it were from a service user's perspective, I could have conceivably pay for the cost of private practice OT if I still needed OT but my insurance doesn't provide good coverage. #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @sherlynmelody in my setting- private pay means that these patients and/or their families would pay the costs out of their pockets. #otalk |
| Chloe Dickson @chloedickson_ @BillWongOT @sherlynmelody Does the local government provide direct payments to assist with the living costs in the home? #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @ChloeDicksonOT @sherlynmelody if patients are on insurance (public or private), that will assist them costwise living in these nursing homes. #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Interesting. Anyone can apply for a care assessment by their local authorities and if funded services are needed I believe a direct payment can be requested. #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @ajciliaOT: |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Question 3) #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @sherlynmelody if you are talking about nursing home settings that I work at, that will be no. It's not in rehab's purview. I think social workers and/or business offices will take care of that. #otalk |
 | denise mucaj @DeniseMucaj Hi my name is Denise, I work in ACS, I am familiar with Direct payments and have issued a few in order to provide specialist equipment to ppl with mainly physical disabilities. it’s my first time on here and learning how it all works. #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @sherlynmelody: #Otalk time is flying, Question 3: |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ @BillWongOT @sherlynmelody As USA don't have DP some of the examples might not fit. DP is give funded Care payment bases on needs and income. #otalk |

| #OTalk @OTalk_ @DeniseMucaj Welcome the #otalk community are a friendly bunch, do ask if you need anything |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @emmaspellmanOT: |
| Chloe Dickson @chloedickson_ @sherlynmelody #otalk in our service we are about to work with a service called social security scotland who work with patients and their families to ensure the are receiving the correct funds they are entitled too. |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @hayleyot1: |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Question 4 #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ This can be a problem. Especially when it comes to regulating the care #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @janetregan3: |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @sherlynmelody In terms of nursing homes in the USA, actually it's one of the least favorite avenues of payment from a profit margin standpoint... if there is a rehab company contracted to run rehab vs. in-house. #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Question 5) #otalk |
| Sarah Pender @louswaiting #OTalk what would happen if you had a PA that took on several service users with their DPs , would that then be a unregulated care agency? |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ @sherlynmelody Less rigid care packages. Less living by the times your care agency provides, more choice in how to achieve your goals #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @emmaspellmanOT: |
| CatherineGreenlaw @c__greenlaw @louswaiting I would need to check with the CQC but I think thete is a difference between working for an agency who co-ordinate the cate worker and a PA with several individual contracts with different people #OTalk |

| #OTalk @OTalk_ @janetregan3 @sherlynmelody That's ok, even we miss the #otalk at times! |
| CatherineGreenlaw @c__greenlaw @RChilversOT @sherlynmelody I'm pleased to say Herts has just recruited a DP Manager to report to me so I will make sure thete is a strong link with the occupational therapists #OTalk |

 | YarnPaw @YarnPaw @sherlynmelody Hello, I'm new to #OTalk working in Adult Social Care, we can use direct payments for care and for options toward equipment costs where people have a preference for alternatives that we can provide at a lower cost. |

| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @sherlynmelody: ahhhh nearly out of time.....#Otalk Question 7: |
| CatherineGreenlaw @c__greenlaw @sherlynmelody The main barrier and facilitator is our creativity which is hard i a busy environment but key to enabling occupations. DPs should be the starting assumption and yraditional care the last option #OTalk |
| YarnPaw @YarnPaw @sherlynmelody We can offer people the choice of self managing their direct payment, or having a managed account that supports with payroll, tax and pension contributions #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Final few minutes of Tonights #otalk hosted by @sherlynmelody I've learned lots and surprised myself with what I already knew! Great hosting @sherlynmelody . Final thoughts of direct payments? |
| Chloe Dickson @chloedickson_ @OTalk_ @sherlynmelody Overall I think direct payments is a great service when people know how to access it correctly. #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ @sherlynmelody Well done!! Great job #otalk |
| Sarah Pender @louswaiting #OTalk think maybe a mixture of commissioned care plus DP would work really well for some people |

| YarnPaw @YarnPaw @sherlynmelody A contracted external agency who acts on behalf of the person to help with particular areas of expertise. Offered at no extra cost to the person using the direct payment, contracted by the local authority #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ @OTSophie @otfrancesca Set yourself a Weekly reminder alarm on your phone to set off 10 minutes before the chat! #otalk top tip! |
| YarnPaw @YarnPaw @sherlynmelody Yes, one particular organisation. Am I okay to name them? #OTalk |
 | Khalilah R. Johnson, PhD, OTR/L @OccScienceBae @sherlynmelody Thank you! I hope your first #OTalk went well. |

 | RosieOT @RTH00170813 @sherlynmelody Q4. Lack of access and monitoring around training EG. Formal moving and handling training not accessed and lack of opportunity to access such training in local area. Concerns around accountability when such PAs don't have adequate training #OTalk |
