The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services have published eleven (11) Part B scenarios for physical and occupational therapists. The scenarios include:
- Billing - CPT Codes: Not Permitted
- Billing - CPT Codes: Permitted
- Group Therapy -vs- Individual Therapy (I found this particularly interesting)
- Team Therapy
- Counting Minutes of Service Units
- Group and Individual CPT Codes Billed on Same Day
- Supervision
- Qualified Personnel
- Group Frequency
- Documentation
- SNF Part B Billing
There is a brief explanation of the difference between group therapy for Part A versus group therapy for Part B at the bottom of the article.
The document is well written, with easy-to-follow explanations. It might save you some lost billing to read through it. Check it out at Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services - 11 Part B Billing Scenarios for PTs and OTs
