Gait analysis
About 96001: Computerized motion analysis with foot pressure
Reports video-based 3D motion analysis with foot-pressure measurements during walking or other functional activity to assess movement of an extremity.
This service combines video recording and computerized three-dimensional movement and kinetic data with foot-pressure measurements during walking or another functional activity. It is used in instrumented gait assessment when a patient’s movement or foot loading needs objective evaluation, such as in an orthopedic or rehabilitation setting. A trained gait-lab team typically collects the measurements; a physician’s review and written interpretation may be a distinct service.
Select this code when the study includes the specified motion-analysis and foot-pressure elements, and document the extremity studied, activities tested, measurements collected, and clinical reason for the assessment. CMS treats the code as a therapy service, so the professional-component modifier does not apply. CMS pricing already accounts for bilateral service; modifier 50 does not increase payment.

96001 billing questions
How does 96001 differ from 96000?
96001 identifies computerized motion analysis that includes foot-pressure measurements and is reported by extremity. 96000 represents comprehensive computer-based motion analysis; select the code that matches the study performed.
Can 96001 be reported with dynamic surface EMG?
Yes, when the study also includes dynamic surface electromyography during walking or another functional activity. The motion and pressure analysis and the muscle-activity recording must each be performed and documented.
Can the physician’s interpretation be billed separately?
A physician’s review and written interpretation may be reported with 96004 when that distinct work is performed and documented. The technical study alone does not establish that interpretation service.
Should modifier 26 be appended?
No. CMS identifies 96001 as a therapy service for which the professional-component modifier does not apply.
How should bilateral testing be handled?
CMS pricing for 96001 already accounts for bilateral service. Modifier 50 does not increase payment.
What documentation supports reporting 96001?
Document the clinical reason for testing, the extremity or extremities assessed, the functional activity performed, and the video-based 3D motion and foot-pressure measurements collected.
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.
