Wiki functional capacity billing

[MikeVee]

I have a physical therapist as a client and he does functional capacity testing. I am aware that the code is 97750 for it, but do I bill multiple units of it? Do I bill a unit per repetition of the test or do I bill a unit for each extremity that is tested i.e 1 unit for arm, 1 unit for torso, ect.

From the cdr

97750 - The health care provider performs a test of physical performance evaluating function of one or more body areas and evaluates functional capacity. A written report is included. This is in addition to a routine evaluation or re-evaluation (97001-97004). This code can be billed in 15-minute increments.
