Re: Therapeutic Activities (97530) vs Self Care/ADLS(97535)

[Guest guest]

,

Based on your intent of treatment as you describe, I

would bill 97530 regardless of the need or not of

modifier-59. Do not let that (modifier-59) determine

if you bill 97530 or another CPT code. Documentation

would support the use of modifier-59 if applicable.
