Physical medicine
About 95851: Extremity or trunk range-of-motion assessment
Reports formal range-of-motion measurements for an extremity other than the hand or a spinal trunk section, supported by documented findings.
A clinician measures and reports how far a joint or spinal section moves, commonly using a goniometer or similar measuring tool. Examples include documenting shoulder or knee motion after an injury or procedure, or measuring cervical or lumbar spine mobility. Physical therapists, physicians, and other qualified clinicians may perform this assessment in outpatient rehabilitation, orthopedic, or other clinical settings.
Select the code by the body area measured: each extremity other than the hand, or a trunk section of the spine. The hand is reported separately with 95852. Record the specific side or spinal section and the measured motion, such as degrees of flexion or extension, in the report. This code represents a discrete measurement and report, not merely a brief observation of movement during a routine examination or treatment session.

95851 billing questions
When should 95851 be used instead of 95852?
Use 95851 for an extremity other than the hand or for a spinal trunk section. Use 95852 for hand range-of-motion measurements.
How are units counted?
Count each measured extremity other than the hand or each measured spinal trunk section. Identify the side or section in the documentation.
Does a routine range-of-motion check during an exam support this code?
A brief observation as part of an examination or treatment is not the discrete measurement-and-report service represented by 95851. Document the measured body area and findings.
Can 95851 and 95852 be reported for the same patient?
They describe different body areas, so both may be relevant when non-hand extremity or spinal measurements and hand measurements are each performed and documented.
Are therapeutic exercises included in this service?
No. Measuring and reporting motion is distinct from performing exercises to improve strength, flexibility, or mobility.
