to the complexity of the evaluation performed. So, PTs and OTs now must determine whether a patient evaluation is low complexity, moderate complexity, or high complexity—and then select the CPT code that correctly represents that level of complexity. Here’s a brief breakdown of the new codes...
When only one service is provided in a day, providers should not bill for services performed for less than 8 minutes. For any single timed CPT code in the same day measured in 15 minute units, providers bill a single 15-minute unit for treatment greater than or equal to 8 minutes through...
But focus only on risk, and you may over-code. That’s because risk is only one of three components you need to consider when determining the complexity of medical decision- making. CPT’s definition of decision-making refers to the complexity of establishing a diagnosis and/or selecting a ...
The care of such patients involves decision making of high complexity to assess, manipulate, and support central nervous system failure, circulatory failure, shock-like conditions, renal, hepatic, metabolic, or respiratory failure, postoperative complications, overwhelming infection, or other vital system ...
These two characteristics gave us the first four digits of the correct code. In Step 2, the level of medical decision making involved in the encounter was determined. Medical decision making can be straightforward (SF), low complexity (LC), moderate complexity (MC), or high complexity (HC)....
