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.

This summary was written with AI assistance from CMS physician fee schedule data and checked against the CMS billing rules shown here. Rates on this page come directly from CMS files.

97112 billing questions

How do I choose between 97112 and 97110?

Use 97112 when the goal is restoring balance, coordination, posture, or proprioception through motor control training. Use 97110 when exercise targets strength, endurance, range of motion, or flexibility. The documented goal and technique decide it, not the exercise equipment.

Can 97112 and 97110 be billed on the same day?

Yes, if each was performed for its own documented purpose during separate time. Record each code's minutes; Medicare determines the total billable timed units from the combined timed treatment minutes.

Does vestibular or balance training fall under 97112?

Balance retraining, static and dynamic postural control work, and vestibular exercises aimed at postural stability can be reported with 97112. The note should tie the activity to a balance or proprioceptive deficit.

Which modifiers are needed on 97112 for Medicare?

Use GP for a physical therapy plan or GO for an occupational therapy plan. Assistant services may also require CQ or CO, respectively. Do not use professional or technical component modifiers 26 or TC.

Can 97112 be billed when the therapist works with several patients at once?

Count only direct, one-on-one treatment time for 97112. Report 97150 for a distinct group therapy service delivered to two or more patients together, rather than counting that group time toward 97112.

What documentation supports 97112?

Record minutes of direct treatment, the impairment addressed, the technique and skilled cueing used, and the patient's response. Balance measures such as the Berg Balance Scale can help document progress toward postural-control goals.

97112 is in these specialty bundles: Physical therapy

Where these rates come from

FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indexes and the conversion factor. Services without a published rate are labeled, never given a made-up amount. Amounts are Medicare allowed amounts before claim adjustments: not a patient’s bill or a commercial rate.
