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

What G0283 covers

This service covers electrical stimulation set up by a therapist or other qualified provider and then allowed to run without continuous one-on-one attendance. Common examples are interferential current or premodulated stimulation for low back or neck pain, muscle spasm, or swelling, sometimes paired with a hot or cold pack. Physical therapists, occupational therapists, and physician practices provide it, predominantly in office and outpatient clinic settings. Medicare uses this code in place of CPT 97014.

The code is untimed, so one unit is reported per session regardless of how many body areas are treated or how long the electrodes are applied. Documentation should name the areas treated, parameters, duration, and goal tied to the therapy plan of care. Report the appropriate GP, GO, or GN therapy modifier rather than separate professional or technical components with modifiers 26 or TC. For the therapy multiple procedure payment reduction, CMS ranks same-day therapy services by practice expense and reduces practice expense for the second and later therapy units.

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.
