What 97750 covers
A physical therapist or other qualified rehabilitation professional uses structured tests or measurements to assess a patient's physical performance. Examples include evaluating functional capacity or measuring musculoskeletal performance to document limitations and abilities. The service may be part of an outpatient rehabilitation evaluation or a focused reassessment when test results are needed to characterize performance. A written report of the findings is part of the service.
Report 97750 in 15-minute units for the time spent performing the testing and measurement. Documentation should identify the tests or measures performed, the findings, and the written report; distinguish testing time from separately performed treatment. This is a therapy service, so a professional component modifier does not apply. When multiple therapy units are reported on the same day, the practice expense for the second and later units is subject to the therapy multiple procedure payment reduction.

97750 billing questions
How is 97750 different from therapeutic exercise?
97750 captures physical performance testing and measurement with a written report. Therapeutic exercise, such as 97110, reports exercises performed to improve function rather than testing used to measure it.
How many units can be reported?
The code is reported in 15-minute units. Document the testing time supporting the units and do not count the same minutes again as another timed therapy service.
Can 97750 be reported with treatment codes on the same date?
It may be reported with separately performed services such as therapeutic activities when the testing and treatment are distinct. The record should separate the testing, report, and treatment work and time.
Is a professional component modifier used?
No. CMS identifies 97750 as a therapy service for which the professional component modifier does not apply.
What documentation supports 97750?
Record the tests or measurements performed, the time spent, the results, and the written report. The documentation should show that the service measured physical performance rather than providing treatment alone.
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.
