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

What 97154 covers

This code describes protocol-based adaptive behavior treatment delivered face-to-face by a technician to two or more patients in a group. The technician provides the service under the direction of a physician or other qualified health care professional. The code distinguishes group treatment from technician-delivered treatment for one patient and from group treatment delivered by a physician or qualified health care professional with protocol modification.

For Medicare physician fee schedule purposes, status C means CMS publishes no national payment; the Medicare Administrative Contractor sets payment for each claim. Each unit represents 15 minutes of the qualifying group service. Documentation should identify the group service, the technician’s role, and the time spent.

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.
