Struggling with PT Collections?

CPT Code Timing Errors Could Be the Reason.

Timed vs. Untimed Codes: What's the Difference? Confusion between these codes leads to underbilling, audits, and delayed payments.

What Are Timed CPT Codes? Timed codes require one-on-one patient interaction and follow the 8-minute rule. Each unit = 15 minutes of direct treatment time.

Common Timed CPT Codes Examples include: • 97110 – Therapeutic Exercise • 97112 – Neuromuscular Re-education • 97530 – Therapeutic Activities

What Are Untimed CPT Codes? Untimed codes are billed once per session, regardless of time. Examples: • 97010 – Hot/Cold Packs • G0283 – Electrical Stimulation (Unattended)

Best Practices for Accuracy • Track start/end times precisely • Separate billable vs. non-billable time • Use the correct CPT code for the service provided • Justify all services with clear documentation
