Billing & Coding: Understanding CPT Code 97530 Therapeutic Activities

Welcome to your billing and coding weekly solutions by H.J. Ross Company where getting your bills paid is what we do best!

What is CPT Code 97530 Therapeutic Activities?

CPT code 97530 is therapeutic activities, using dynamic activities one on one patient contact by the provider to improve functional performance (real-life movements), each 15 minutes.

Therapeutic activities cover a wide range of functional activities, including squatting, walking up and/or down stairs, bending, walking, lifting, catching, throwing, pushing, pulling, etc.

When billing and documenting for therapeutic activities, it is important to document the specific relationship to a functional activity and how it applies to the patient.

Billing with incorrect chiropractic CPT codes can lead to claim rejections and delays in payments, which can have a devastating impact on generating revenue and keeping you in business.
