What 98927 covers
This service represents osteopathic manipulative treatment directed to somatic dysfunction in five or six body regions. An osteopathic physician, commonly a DO, may use manual techniques such as soft-tissue mobilization, muscle energy, or articulatory treatment in an office or outpatient setting. The defined regions include areas such as the cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacral, pelvic, rib cage, and extremity regions; count the regions treated, not the number of techniques or individual structures addressed.
Select the code from the number of distinct regions actually treated, and document the dysfunction findings and treatment for those regions. The 0-day global period includes same-day preoperative and postoperative care. Modifier 50 is inappropriate for bilateral adjustment. Assistant-at-surgery payment requires documented medical necessity; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

98927 billing questions
How does this code differ from 98926 or 98928?
Choose among these OMT codes by the number of distinct body regions treated: 98926 covers three or four, this code covers five or six, and 98928 covers seven or eight.
What should the note document?
Record the somatic dysfunction findings and the specific body regions treated, with enough detail to support that five or six distinct regions received OMT.
Can modifier 50 be used when both sides are treated?
No. Bilateral adjustment is not appropriate for this code, even when treatment involves paired structures.
Is same-day evaluation or follow-up care included?
The 0-day global period includes same-day preoperative and postoperative care.
Can an assistant, co-surgeon, or surgical team be reported?
Assistant-at-surgery payment is allowed only when medical necessity is documented. Co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
Does the region count refer to techniques or body areas?
It refers to distinct defined body regions treated, not the number of manual techniques or individual structures addressed.
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.
