About 97130: Additional cognitive function intervention
Reports additional one-on-one cognitive function treatment addressing skills such as attention, memory, reasoning, and executive function after the initial timed service.
A therapist or other qualified health care professional uses skilled, direct one-on-one treatment to address cognitive functions that affect daily activities. Targets may include attention, memory, reasoning, executive function, problem solving, or pragmatic functioning. Treatment can also teach compensatory approaches, such as using a schedule or organizing and sequencing a task. It is commonly provided in outpatient rehabilitation for people with cognitive changes following stroke, brain injury, or neurologic disease.
Report 97130 only as an add-on to 97129, the primary code for the initial timed portion of this intervention. Each unit represents an additional 15 minutes of treatment; documentation should identify the cognitive goals, skilled interventions, direct patient contact, and time supporting the added service. CMS treats this as an add-on paid within the primary procedure’s global period. Do not use the same treatment minutes to support another timed service.
