Osteopathic treatment

About 98926: Osteopathic manipulative treatment, 3-4 regions

Report this service when a physician performs osteopathic manipulative treatment on three or four distinct body regions for documented somatic dysfunction.

A physician, commonly an osteopathic physician, uses manual techniques to treat somatic dysfunction in three or four body regions during an office visit or other clinical encounter. The regions may include the head, neck, thoracic or lumbar areas, sacrum, pelvis, ribs, abdomen, or upper or lower extremities. The code reflects the number of distinct regions treated, not the number of techniques used or the number of findings documented.

Document the regions treated and the clinical findings supporting treatment there. Report one service for treatment of three or four regions. CMS assigns a 0-day global period, so same-day preoperative and postoperative care is included. Modifier 50 is inappropriate for bilateral treatment. CMS pays an assistant at surgery only when medical necessity is documented; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

Why are the office and facility amounts different?

For 98926 in Wyoming**, the physician’s office rate is $45.75 and the facility-setting rate is $29.38: a difference of $16.37.

98926 billing questions

How do I choose between 98925, 98926, and 98927?

Count the distinct body regions treated: 98925 covers one or two, 98926 covers three or four, and 98927 covers five or six.

Do I count each technique or each side as a separate region?

No. Count distinct treated body regions, not the number of manual techniques or sides treated within a region.

Can an E/M service be reported on the same date?

A significant, separately identifiable E/M service may be reported with modifier 25. The documentation should distinguish that evaluation and management work from the OMT service.

Should modifier 50 be appended when both sides are treated?

No. CMS identifies bilateral adjustment as inappropriate for this code; treatment on both sides does not make it a bilateral service.

What documentation supports reporting 98926?

Record the somatic dysfunction findings and identify the three or four distinct regions actually treated.

What is included in the global period?

The 0-day global period includes same-day preoperative and postoperative care.

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.
