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

What 98925 covers

98925 represents osteopathic manipulative treatment directed to somatic dysfunction in one or two of the seven body regions: head, cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacral, pelvic, or extremity. An osteopathic physician typically performs hands-on techniques such as muscle energy or myofascial release in an office or outpatient setting. Select the code based on the distinct regions treated, not the number of techniques or findings within a region. Document the treated regions and clinical findings supporting the manipulation.

CMS assigns a minor-procedure 0-day global period, so same-day preoperative and postoperative care is included. Modifier 50 is inappropriate for bilateral adjustment. Assistant-at-surgery payment requires documentation of medical necessity; co-surgeon and team-surgery billing are not permitted. A separately identifiable E/M service may be reported when its work is distinct from the manipulation and is documented accordingly.

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.
