Wiki PT Billing/Coding question

[lindseyhulley]

Okay, so its my understanding that an RPT can only code/bill for the services that they personally provide correct? My example would be if a Pilates instructor performs 45 mins of 97110 (Therapeutic Exercise) the RPT cannot bill for those services since a Pilates instructor was performing the service? Or am I wrong? Thanks.

PTA can perform and bill under a PT but no one else can. Pilates instructor services are not billable under a CPT code.
