Medicare allowed amount for participating (non-QP) physicians, before deductible, coinsurance and claim adjustments. Not a patient’s bill or a hospital charge.

What 97112 covers

Neuromuscular reeducation addresses impaired balance, coordination, posture, movement control, and awareness of joint position during sitting or standing activities. A physical or occupational therapist or therapy assistant may use weight-shifting drills, balance-board exercises, perturbations, or proprioceptive training to help a patient regain motor control after stroke, ankle sprain, or knee ligament reconstruction. It is typically delivered in an outpatient therapy clinic or private practice; the treatment goal is retraining movement control rather than simply building strength.

Report 97112 for each 15 minutes of direct, one-on-one treatment. Under Medicare's timed-code method, total timed treatment minutes determine billable units across timed codes; record minutes for each service without counting overlapping time twice. Document the deficit, activities, skilled cueing, and response to distinguish reeducation from therapeutic exercise or gait training. Use GP or GO for the applicable therapy plan, and CQ or CO when assistant services require them. This therapy service has no professional/technical split; do not append modifier 26 or TC. Under the therapy multiple procedure payment reduction, practice expense is reduced for the second and later therapy units that day, including additional 97112 units.
