About 97032: Attended electrical stimulation therapy
A therapist applies and manages electrical stimulation at one or more treatment areas during a timed session for a documented rehabilitation goal.
A physical or occupational therapist uses attended electrical stimulation to address a documented rehabilitation need, such as pain management or muscle activation. The clinician applies and manages the stimulation at the treatment area, rather than leaving the patient with an unattended device. This modality is commonly provided in outpatient rehabilitation settings and may be part of a broader therapy session.
Report one unit for each 15 minutes of the service, supported by documentation of the treatment time, area treated, stimulation provided, and its purpose or response. Distinguish the attended service from unattended electrical stimulation and from other modalities such as iontophoresis or ultrasound. CMS treats this as a therapy service, so a professional component modifier does not apply. For multiple therapy services on the same day, practice expense is reduced for the second and later therapy units.

97032 billing questions
How does this differ from unattended electrical stimulation?
This code describes attended stimulation managed by the clinician. Unattended stimulation is a different service; Medicare therapy claims commonly use G0283 for it.
How many units are reported?
The code is reported in 15-minute units. Document the time spent providing the attended stimulation.
Can a professional component modifier be appended?
No. CMS identifies this as a therapy service for which the professional component modifier does not apply.
What documentation supports the service?
Record the treatment time, body area, stimulation performed, and the clinical purpose or patient response. The note should support that the service was attended.
What happens when multiple therapy units are provided on the same day?
CMS reduces practice expense for the second and later therapy units furnished that day.
Where these rates come from
FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense, and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indices and the applicable conversion factor. Unavailable or separately priced services are labeled rather than assigned a made-up amount.
