I totally understand, but one of the issues agencies are hiring O.T.s and not 
VRTs is that they can bill insurance and therefore it becomes a financial issue 
for agencies.

Again Not to harp on the issue, it is not duct the fact that OT's can bill 
medicaid but the fact that OTs training programs and tearily graduates out 
number VRTs 100 to 1! The sheer percentage of available personnel in VRT just 
does not exist.
