What 97014 covers
97014 identifies unattended electrical stimulation used as a physical therapy modality. The device delivers electrical current without the therapist maintaining continuous, direct one-to-one contact during application. Physical therapists and other qualified therapy professionals may report this modality in rehabilitation treatment. Its attended counterpart is 97032, used when the therapist provides direct one-to-one contact during stimulation.
97014 is not valid for Medicare; Medicare uses another code to report and pay for the service. For unattended stimulation for indications other than wound care within a therapy plan of care, Medicare reporting uses G0283. Wound-care electrical stimulation is reported with G0281 for specified chronic ulcers within a therapy plan of care or G0282 for other wound-care situations. 97014 is an untimed modality, while 97032 is reported in 15-minute units. The attended or unattended nature of the service distinguishes these modality codes.
