Does anyone know the maximum number of patients that are allowed to attend a group therapy visit?

Wiki Group therapy 97150

I am not aware of a max number of patients that can be billed using the code just as long as each of those in the session is billed under the group code. There is however a max units restriction of only 1 unit of 97150 being allowed to be billed even if you spend more than 15 mins providing the service so the therapists need to be careful.

Thank you for the information.
I have been going over CMS guidelines for therapy coding but I was unable to find anything relating to the max number of patients allowed in a group setting. But I did find that the Therapists have to document the actual amount of patients within that group session.
