Modality Tab The Modality tab is where discipline information is setup. Specific discipline types such as nursing, physical therapy, etc. along with their Care Type, cost type and cost amounts are stored here. Modalities are used for statistical and financial reporting and claim purposes. Different modalities can be combined under one Care Type for reporting purposes. For example, an agency may split out modalities for Skilled Nursing vs. Skilled Nursing Non Billable or RN vs. LPN, but want to combine them under the Skilled Nursing Care Type for statistical analysis.
