Wiki PT or OT?

[lkeithcpc]

I had a physical therapist ask me how Medicare determines if something is physical therapy or occupational therapy. What's the difference and how is it determined which is which when the claim is sent? He wants to make sure he isn't exceeding therapy caps.

Modifiers GP and GO tell what type of therapist is providing the service.

Laura, CPC, CPMA, CEMC
