The "new rule" for salaried workers refers to the U.S. Department of Labor's (DOL) 2024 overtime rule, which significantly raised salary thresholds for exempt status (making more lower-paid salaried workers eligible for overtime) but was largely vacated by a federal court in November 2024, meaning the scheduled increases to $43,888 (July 1, 2024) and $58,656 (Jan 1, 2025) were blocked. While the original 2019 salary threshold of $35,568 ($684/week) temporarily rose to $43,888 in July 2024 before being blocked, the rule is currently on hold, with no new automatic triennial updates planned, and the existing $35,568 threshold largely remains in effect, though state laws (like California's) may have higher requirements.

It helps standardize reimbursement, ensuring fair payment for services like physical or occupational therapy by totaling minutes across timed codes, then applying the 8-minute threshold for billing units (e.g., 8-22 mins = 1 unit, 23-37 mins = 2 units).
Some of the “red flags” are: The patient is from out of state. The patient requests a specific drug. The patient states that an alternative drug does not work.
