Hello,

I have a question regarding PT supervised code 97010 being billed with another supervised code 97014 in the same 15 minute time period. The information I have found says:

Billing Two CPT Codes for Same 15 Minute Time Period
*Only when one of the services is a supervised service that does not require the presence of the therapist (97010 - 97028)
*One or more supervised modalities may be billed in the same 15 minute time period with any other CPT code requiring constant attendance or direct one-on-one patient contact.

Does this mean since they are both supervised codes and neither are timed codes that they should not both be billed? The office notes say there was 32 minutes of Therapeutic Exercises with 15 minutes of concurrent care for the Cold Pack and EStim for a total of 47 minutes. 2 units of 97110 was billed with 1 unit of 97010 and 1 unit of 97014. Is this correct and all 4 units should be allowed?

Thank you in advance for any advice you can give!
