What 97814 covers

Code 97814 captures a subsequent timed segment of acupuncture treatment in which the practitioner continues one-on-one care, reinserts one or more needles, and applies electrical stimulation. It is used during pain-management visits when treatment extends beyond the initial acupuncture segment. A physician or other qualified acupuncture practitioner may perform the service in an office or outpatient setting, subject to applicable scope and coverage requirements.

Report 97814 only with primary acupuncture code 97813; it is not a stand-alone service. Select additional units from documented treatment time and record the face-to-face work, needle reinsertion, and use of electrical stimulation. CMS identifies 97814 as an add-on code: payment falls within the primary procedure's global period. Keep the initial segment on 97813 and use 97814 only for subsequent qualifying segments; treatment without electrical stimulation follows a different code path.

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.

97814 billing questions

Can 97814 be reported without 97813?

No. 97814 is an add-on code and must be reported with primary acupuncture code 97813.

How does 97814 differ from 97813?

97813 represents the initial timed acupuncture segment with electrical stimulation. 97814 represents each additional qualifying segment with needle reinsertion.

When should 97811 be used instead?

What should the documentation support?

Document the additional treatment time, one-on-one service, needle reinsertion, and electrical stimulation. The record should distinguish the initial 97813 segment from the additional 97814 service.

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.
