Wiki Billing Physical/Occupational/Speech Therapies

[dwilliams73]

I would like to know how these therapies are billed when rendered during an inpatient stay.
Do you report ONLY the ICD10-PCS code for the therapy? If the provider rendering the service is an employee of the hosptial is a seperate bill submitted using CPT codes tor report the professional servic?
Thank you for your assistance.

Just wanted to follow-up and see if you were able to determine if a seperate professional service would be appropriate in this case?
Thanks!

It depends on whether these services are charged in the rehab department and come through the CDM. Usually that's the case. These are services incident-to a physician and are not billed as professional charges. They are bundled into the DRG. Check with the rehab department before you code additionally.
