Has anyone ever billed/ coded for animal assisted therapy?
Is there an actual CPT code for it?
Would it be considered a modality, 97532?

Thanks a million :)

Is there a CPT or HCPCS code for animal assisted therapy?
Does anyone have experience coding for this?
Are there documentation guidelines?

Thanks so much for your time,

:)

Hi Kilokilo,

Actually, I did today :)

Use 90899 because there is no specific CPT code for this yet.

Hope this helps, even though this is an unlisted CPT code.
 
I just joined this BH thread. I work in the world of military medicine and the BH coding is huge. We asked about animal therapy a while back but it never dawned on us to use this unlisted code. Thanks for that!
