New to this therapy. Does anyone know how to bill multiple areas? I believe 96567 is for one area? Thanks
 
blue light

The Code for PDT states per session not per area. So if multiple areas are treated, but the pt is only exposed to 1 round of the BLUE light you can only charge for one session. If the pt did multiple areas and had to be exposed to more then 1 blue light session you would charge multiple 96567 with a 59... Example

Scalp and face treated with 1 blue light exposure.... 96567 with 1 unit J7308

Arms, scalp, and back treated with 2 blue light exposures ..... 96567
96567 59
J7308 X 2 units
