My physician, who is an allergist/immunologist, is wanting to know if he can bill for chest physiotherapy (CPT code 94667). I have not had any luck finding any information about this. I have seen where physical therapists and respiratory therapists can bill but nothing about physicians.
Any help would be greatly appeciated!!
Thank you!

Dena,
I asked this question on Supercoder.com and got this response from a coding expert:
"It depends upon the payor. Make sure the medical-record documentation must include reasons supporting the intervention of an allergist/immunologist. Some local carriers require, before they pay for the services of a physician, written documentation explaining exactly what the physician did. Ask your payor if they can accept codes from your physician."
I ended up billing it out. I no longer work at that facility so I do not know if the claim was paid or not.
I hope this helps.
