About 95852: Hand range-of-motion assessment
Reports measured range of motion of the hand, with or without comparison to normal values, when a hand-specific assessment is performed and documented.
This service records and reports hand range of motion, such as measured movement at the wrist or finger joints. A physician or other qualified clinician may perform it during an evaluation of stiffness, restricted motion, or recovery after a hand injury or procedure. The record should identify the hand assessed and include the measurements and findings that support the assessment; a general statement that motion is limited does not show the measurement service performed.
Use 95852 for hand measurements rather than 95851, which covers other extremities or trunk sections. The documentation should make clear that the service was a measured assessment with a report, not simply an observation made during treatment or a set of therapeutic exercises. Identify the side and the relevant motions or joints measured. CMS lists no special payment rule for this code in the supplied facts; its physician fee schedule valuation includes work and practice expense components.

95852 billing questions
When should 95852 be used instead of 95851?
Use 95852 for measured hand range of motion. Code 95851 describes measurements of other extremities or trunk sections.
Does performing hand exercises support 95852?
Not by itself. The record should show that hand motion was measured and reported, rather than only treated with exercises.
What should the note include?
Identify the hand assessed and document the range-of-motion findings. Include the movements or joints measured so the record supports a hand-specific measurement service.
Can 95852 be reported with 95851?
The codes describe different measurement areas: 95852 covers the hand, while 95851 covers other extremities or trunk sections. Document the distinct areas assessed.
Is 95852 a therapy exercise code?
No. It describes measurement and reporting of hand range of motion; 97110 describes therapeutic exercise.
