Reminder: Be sure you’re billing correctly for therapy services

Our claims experience shows that hospital outpatient departments and freestanding outpatient physical therapy facilities are not billing correctly for physical, occupational and speech therapy services.

We shared the billing requirements in the November 2012 and July 2013 issues of The Record.

When these services are not billed correctly, your patients may reach their therapy benefit limits sooner than they should.

For each date of service, please report the following:

• Therapy services revenue code
• Health Care Common Procedure Coding System code
• Number of services provided

For more information, contact your provider consultant.
