Use modifier 96 for habilitative services
Health care providers must use modifier 96 to identify any physical therapy, occupational therapy or speech-language pathology codes for habilitative services. This allows us to track when habilitative (versus rehabilitative) services are reported.
On Jan. 1, 2018, modifier SZ was deleted and can no longer be used for tracking habilitative services. Modifier 96 replaces modifier SZ.
