As expenses continue to increase while reimbursement either declines or remains stagnant, therapists and assistants need to have a solid understanding of CPT coding and billing to ensure adequate and correct reimbursement. This session will teach participants what interventions, techniques and procedures are included within the CPT codes most commonly used by physical therapists, physical therapist assistants, occupational therapists, occupational therapy assistants, and speech-language pathologists. The seminar will teach participants the new caregiver training services (CTS) CPT codes for 2024, documentation required to bill the CTS codes, and how to bill the CTS codes. These new CTS codes are very applicable to the pediatric population. Finally, the session will teach participants Medicare’s “8-minute rule”, definition of substantial per the American Medical Association, and provide billing scenarios to ensure therapists bill correctly to all insurance carriers, including the Medicaid program.
