About 96000: Video-based three-dimensional motion analysis
Reports video-based three-dimensional motion analysis used to assess movement patterns, such as gait, in patients with functional or mobility concerns.
This service uses video capture and three-dimensional kinematic analysis to evaluate how a person moves. It is typically performed in a motion or gait laboratory by rehabilitation professionals, such as physical therapists, as part of assessment for abnormal gait, mobility limitations, or movement problems related to neurologic or musculoskeletal conditions. The recorded movement data can help characterize movement patterns for clinical assessment and treatment planning.
Select the code for video-based 3D kinematic motion analysis, rather than a test that adds dynamic plantar pressure measurement or surface electromyography. Documentation should identify the movement assessed, the clinical reason for testing, and the analysis performed. CMS classifies this as a therapy service, so the professional component modifier does not apply. The code is priced as bilateral; modifier 50 does not increase payment.

96000 billing questions
When should 96000 be selected instead of 96001?
Use 96000 for video-based 3D kinematic motion analysis. Code 96001 describes the related analysis with dynamic plantar pressure measurements.
Can modifier 50 be used when both sides are assessed?
CMS prices 96000 as bilateral. Modifier 50 does not increase payment.
Can a professional component modifier be reported?
No. CMS identifies 96000 as a therapy service for which the professional component modifier does not apply.
How does 96000 differ from dynamic surface EMG?
96000 analyzes movement using video and 3D kinematics. Codes 96002 and 96003 describe dynamic surface electromyography during walking or other functional activity.
What documentation supports reporting 96000?
Document the clinical reason for the motion assessment, the movement evaluated, and the video-based 3D kinematic analysis performed.
How does 96004 relate to this service?
96004 describes physician review and interpretation of comprehensive computer-based motion analysis, including a written report. It represents review and interpretation rather than the video-based testing described by 96000.
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.
