Respiratory therapy

About 94668: Subsequent manual chest wall therapy

Report 94668 for a subsequent session of manual chest wall techniques used to mobilize pulmonary secretions and support lung function.

94668 describes a later session of manually applied chest wall techniques, such as percussion or vibration, to help mobilize airway secretions. It may be used in respiratory care for patients who need secretion-clearance therapy, including people with chronic lung disease or an acute respiratory illness. A respiratory therapist or other qualified clinician commonly performs the treatment in an outpatient setting.

Use this code for a subsequent treatment, rather than the initial service represented by 94667. Documentation should identify the reason for secretion-clearance therapy, the manual techniques performed, and the treatment provided at that session. Under the CMS incident-to rule, the service is billed only when performed under physician supervision.
