About 96004: Physician review of motion analysis
A physician reviews and interprets comprehensive computer-based motion-analysis findings, including video, and reports the clinical meaning of the test.
This service covers a physician’s review and interpretation of comprehensive computer-based motion-analysis findings, including video recordings. The physician evaluates recorded movement and test results to explain patterns relevant to a patient’s gait or other functional movement problem. It is typically performed by a physician involved in rehabilitation, orthopedics, neurology, or movement assessment after a motion-analysis laboratory has collected the test data.
Report 96004 for the physician’s interpretation and report, supported by documentation of the reviewed motion-analysis findings and the resulting clinical assessment. The technical portion is covered by a separate code when that testing is performed; do not treat this professional service as the equipment or data-acquisition service. The code is priced as bilateral, so modifier 50 does not increase payment when both sides are assessed.
