CPT code 99071

[Guest guest]

To group:

Has any PT ever used CPT code 99071: educational supplies, such as books,

tapes, and pamphlets, provided by the physician for the pt's education at cost

to physician and received pymt on it? It states that this code is used by the

" reporting physician or other qualified healthcare professional. " However, CPT

does go on to say that these services are an adjunct to the basic services

rendered, which sounds like it is included with your PT treatment? Your

thoughts would be appreciated.

What are you more interested in; whether any PT has been reimbursed for this

code, or whether PTs are eligible for reimbursement? Also, from whom are you

seeking reimbursement? The answers are to these questions are, by no means, the

same.

Ric:

Respectfully, I think you may have missed my points. It is entirely

possible for a provider to be reimbursed for a code, despite the fact that

they are not entitled to that reimbursement. It is important for us to know

what reimbursement we are entitled to, so that we know when to fight for it,

and when to hand it back. If we don't know, or don't care, we may expend a

lot of resources fighting losing battles, or battles that we should avoid in

the first place.

Or, to put it less delicately; some people may be more interested in what

they can get away with than what they should do. In addition, reimbursement

rules can, and do, vary by payer.

Do you see what I am saying?

Sincerely,

Ken: her question seems straightforward to me. See above. She wants to

know IF any PT has USED it and IF they have been reimbursed for it, BOTH!

She

didn't specify whom she was seeking reimbursement from, rather if anyone

had

used it and been paid for it!
