92507 Speech therapy Medicare reimbursement rates in Missouri

This code covers a treatment session in which a speech-language pathologist works directly with one patient on a communication disorder. Common targets include aphasia after stroke, motor speech disorders such as dysarthria and apraxia, voice disorders such as vocal fold nodules or Parkinson-related hypophonia, stuttering, articulation and language delays in children, and auditory processing deficits. Sessions take place in private SLP practices, outpatient hospital departments, rehabilitation agencies, and skilled nursing facilities under Part B.

The code is untimed, so a routine session is reported as one unit per date of service regardless of its length. Documentation should tie the session to the plan of care, name the goals addressed, describe the techniques and cues used, and record the patient's measurable response. Medicare requires the GN therapy modifier to identify services delivered under a speech-language pathology plan of care. This therapy service has no professional or technical split, so the professional component modifier is not used. Under the therapy multiple procedure payment reduction, practice expense is reduced for the second and later therapy units furnished to the same patient on the same day.
