cpt code for lymphedema wrapping

[Guest guest]

Quick coding question. What is the most appropriate CPT code to bill when

wrapping an extremity for lymphedema. Our LCD is clear that manual therapy is

the appropriate code to use when performing manual drainage, but want to make

sure we are using the best for the actual wrapping time.

Also, on another note, I have often heard that for a Medicare beneficiary, they

cannot go to two different PT providers at the same time. I was just informed of

a patient we are seeing for PT who is also going to another PT provider for a

completely different issue (the patient just informed us of this after being

seen here for a number of visits). Is one of us not getting paid? If there is a

reference to this " reg. " , could someone please refer me to it? Thanks
