I was wondering if anyone could tell me a code for lymphatic drainage massage therapy?
From what I understand it is used for pre and post op swelling. I work for vascular surgeons and my office manager asked about it because they are thinking of starting to perform this procedure. Thank you. Dalanna
 
97140- Manual Therapy techniques: mobilization, manipulation, manual lymphatic drainage, manual traction, one or more regions, each 15 minutes.
 
Caution, Univera only accepts 97001 and 97002, IHA only accepts 97139! Medicaid 97530...get the drift?:)
 
97001 and 97002 are evaluation, 97139 is an unlisted code and 97530 is for therapeutic activities. It seems really odd that those are to billed for what is clearly a 97140. Sounds like your PT association has some work to do in your part of the country.
