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.

98925 billing questions
How is 98925 distinguished from 98926?
Count the distinct body regions treated. Report 98925 for one or two regions; 98926 is for three or four.
Does the number of techniques or findings change the region count?
No. Select the code by the number of distinct body regions treated, not by the number of techniques or individual findings in a region.
Can an E/M service be reported on the same date?
A separately identifiable E/M service may be reported when it involves distinct work beyond the manipulation. Document that work and use modifier 25 when appropriate.
Should modifier 50 be used when both sides are treated?
No. CMS identifies bilateral adjustment as inappropriate for this code; report the treated regions without modifier 50.
What documentation supports 98925?
Document the somatic dysfunction findings, the one or two regions treated, and the manipulation performed.
How does the 0-day global period affect same-day care?
Same-day preoperative and postoperative care is included in the service under the 0-day global period.
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.
