1 Timed Therapeutic Procedures Policy Number: Last Review: 4/2015 Origination: 4/2009 Next Review: 4/2016 Policy Documentation to support the reporting of timed procedure codes is required. The time reported should reflect direct one-on-one contact time with the patient. Supervised treatment in the absence of skilled intervention is not billable time. Billable time should reflect the time that the provider spent face-to-face between the patient and the licensed practitioner providing the service and not just the time the patient spent receiving supervised procedures in the clinic. When the therapist is working with several patients at the same time, then CPT code (group therapy) should be reported is not a timed code and should be reported once for each group participant. The specific type of therapy (e.g., 97110) should not be billed in addition to the group therapy code. When more than one service represented by 15 minute timed codes is performed in a single day, the total number of units billed is limited by the total treatment time. If a service represented by a 15 minute timed code is performed in a single day for at least 15 minutes that service shall be billed for at least one unit. If the service is performed for at least 30 minutes, that service shall be billed for at least two units, etc. It is not appropriate to count all minutes of treatment in a day toward the units for one code if other services were performed for more than 15 minutes. If any 15 minute timed service that is performed for 7 minutes or less on the same day as another 15 minute timed service that was also performed for 7 minutes or less and the total time of the two is 8 minutes or greater, then bill one unit for the service performed for the most minutes. This is correct because the total time is greater than the minimum time for one unit. The same logic is applied when three or more different services are provided for 7 minutes or less. If a provider has a consistent practice of billing less than 15 minutes for a unit, these situations may be highlighted for review. In the same 15-minute (or other) time period, a therapist cannot bill any of the following pairs of CPT codes for outpatient therapy services provided to the same, or to different patients. Examples include: Any two CPT codes for "therapeutic procedures" requiring direct one-on-one patient contact (CPT codes ); Any two CPT codes for modalities requiring "constant attendance" and direct one-on-one patient contact (CPT codes ); Any two CPT codes requiring either constant attendance or direct one-on-one patient contact - as described in (a) and (b) above -- (CPT codes ). For example: any CPT code for a therapeutic procedure (eg gait training) with any attended modality CPT code (eg ultrasound);
2 Any CPT code for therapeutic procedures requiring direct one-on-one patient contact (CPT codes ) with the group therapy CPT code (97150) requiring constant attendance. For example: group therapy (97150) with neuromuscular reeducation (97112); Any CPT code for modalities requiring constant attendance (CPT codes ) with the group therapy CPT code (97150). For example: group therapy (97150) with ultrasound (97035); Any untimed evaluation or reevaluation code (CPT codes ) with any other timed or untimed CPT codes, including constant attendance modalities (CPT codes ), therapeutic procedures (CPT codes ) and group therapy (CPT code 97150) In the same 15-minute time period, one therapist may bill for more than one therapy service occurring in the same 15-minute time period where "supervised modalities" are defined by CPT as untimed and unattended -- not requiring the presence of the therapist (CPT codes ). One or more supervised modalities may be billed in the same 15-minute time period with any other CPT code, timed or untimed, requiring constant attendance or direct one-on-one patient contact. However, any actual time the therapist uses to attend one-on-one to a patient receiving a supervised modality cannot be counted for any other service provided by the therapist. For therapy modalities performed on any calendar day that specify time spent in direct patient contact, i.e., each 15 minutes, use the following guidelines to calculate the number of units that should be reported: Time Interval Units billed 0-7 minutes minutes minutes minutes minutes minutes minutes minutes 7 The pattern remains the same for treatment in excess of two hours. Examples Example 1 24 minutes of neuromuscular reeducation, code minutes of therapeutic exercise, code minutes total timed code minutes See the chart above. The 47 minutes falls within the range for 3 units = 38 to 52 minutes. Appropriate billing for 47 minutes is only 3 timed units. Each of the codes is performed for more than 15 minutes, so each shall be billed for at least 1 unit. The correct coding is 2 units of code and one unit of code 97110, assigning more timed units to the service that took the most time. Example 2 20 minutes of neuromuscular reeducation (97112) 20 minutes therapeutic exercise (97110) 40 minutes total timed code minutes Appropriate billing for 40 minutes is 3 units. Each service was done at least 15 minutes and should be billed for at least one unit, but the total allows 3 units. Since the time for each service is the same, choose either code for 2 units and bill the other for 1 unit. Do not bill 3 units for either one of the codes. Example 3 33 minutes of therapeutic exercise (97110) 7 minutes of manual therapy (97140)
3 40 minutes total timed code minutes Appropriate billing for 40 minutes is for 3 units. Bill 2 units of and 1 unit of Count the first 30 minutes of as two full units. Compare the remaining time for (33-30 = 3 minutes) to the time spent on (7 minutes) and bill the larger, which is Example 4 18 minutes of therapeutic exercise (97110) 13 minutes of manual therapy (97140) 10 minutes of gait training (97116) 8 minutes of ultrasound (97035) 49 minutes total timed code minutes Appropriate billing is for 3 units. Bill the procedures you spent the most time providing. Bill 1 unit each of 97110, 97116, and You are unable to bill for the ultrasound because the total time of timed units that can be billed is constrained by the total timed code treatment minutes (i.e., you may not bill 4 units for less than 53 minutes regardless of how many services were performed). You would still document the ultrasound in the treatment notes. Example 5 7 minutes of neuromuscular reeducation (97112) 7 minutes therapeutic exercise (97110) 7 minutes manual therapy (97140) 21 minutes total timed code minutes Appropriate billing is for one unit. Select one appropriate CPT code (97112, 97110, 97140) to bill since each unit was performed for the same amount of time and only one unit is allowed. Example 6: Group Therapy - vs. - Individual Therapy The following is provided to assist you in determining whether to bill for group therapy (97150) or individual therapy (defined by the timed CPT codes for therapeutic procedures requiring direct one-onone patient contact), when treating two patients during the same time period. When direct one-on-one patient contact is provided the therapist bills for individual therapy and counts the total minutes of service to each patient in order to determine how many units of service to bill each patient for the timed codes. These direct one-on-one minutes may occur continuously (15 minutes straight), or in notable episodes (for example, 10 minutes now, 5 minutes later). Each direct one-on-one episode, however, should be of a sufficient length of time to provide the appropriate skilled treatment in accordance with each patient's plan of care. Also, the manner of practice should clearly distinguish it from care provided simultaneously to two or more patients. Group therapy consists of simultaneous treatment to two or more patients who may or may not be doing the same activities. If the therapist is dividing attention among the patients, providing only brief, intermittent personal contact, or giving the same instructions to two or more patients at the same time, it is appropriate to bill each patient one unit of group therapy, (untimed). One-on-One Example: In a 45-minute period, a therapist works with 3 patients - A, B, and C - providing therapeutic exercises to each patient with direct one-on-one contact in the following sequence: Patient A receives 8 minutes, patient B receives 8 minutes and patient C receives 8 minutes. After this initial 24-minute period, the therapist returns to work with patient A for 10 more minutes (18 minutes total), then patient B for 5 more minutes (13 minutes total), and finally patient C for 6 additional minutes (14 minutes total). During the times the patients are not receiving direct one-on-one contact with the therapist, they are each exercising independently. The therapist appropriately bills each patient one 15 minute unit of therapeutic exercise (97110) corresponding to the time of the skilled intervention with each patient.
4 Group Example: In a 25-minute period, a therapist works with two patients, A and B, and divides his/her time between two patients. The therapist moves back and forth between the two patients, spending a minute or two at a time, and provides occasional assistance and modifications to patient A s exercise program and offers verbal cues for patient B s gait training and balance activities in the parallel bars. The therapist does not track continuous or notable, identifiable episodes of direct oneon-one contact with either patient and would bill each patient one unit of group therapy (97150) corresponding to the time of the skilled intervention with each patient.
