Hello,
Can 97810 and 97814 be billed together? I found this on the CMA website, however the 97810 is without electric stim and 97814 (add-on) is with electric stim.
-Initial acupuncture HCPCS 97810 OR 97813, with or without acupuncture HCPCS add-on codes 97811 AND/OR 97814 on the same date of service (DOS). It doesn't matter which initial code is reported with which add-on code but only one initial HCPCS 97810 or 97813 are allowed per DOS.
Therefore, per CPT, you should never code 97810 and 97813 on the same claim. A simple rule of thumb is to never combine 97810 and 97813 on a single claim for acupuncture services because these two codes both describe an initial 15 minute treatment with insertion of one or more needles.
