Physical medicine and rehabilitation

About 97110: Therapeutic exercise, each 15 minutes

Timed one-on-one therapy service in which a therapist directs exercises to build strength, endurance, range of motion, or flexibility, reported per 15 minutes.

Therapeutic exercise covers clinician-directed exercise aimed at restoring strength, endurance, joint range of motion, and flexibility in one or more body areas. Typical examples include progressive resistive exercise after rotator cuff repair, active-assisted range of motion after total knee arthroplasty, core strengthening for low back pain, and stretching programs for contractures. Physical therapists, occupational therapists, and supervised assistants perform it, mostly in outpatient clinics and private practices, with smaller volumes in facility settings. The clinician must have direct, one-on-one contact with the patient throughout the billed time.

Units are based on documented minutes of direct treatment. Medicare counts total timed minutes across all timed therapy codes for the day and assigns units under the 8-minute rule. Notes should name the exercises, parameters such as sets, repetitions, and resistance, the body region, skilled cues provided, and the functional goal addressed. Report the applicable therapy discipline modifier; add CQ or CO when assistant involvement meets Medicare’s threshold for a billed unit. This therapy service has no professional or technical split, so modifier 26 is not used. The therapy multiple procedure payment reduction reduces practice expense for the second and later therapy units on the same day, including a second unit of 97110.

97110 billing questions

How many units can be billed for a 38-minute session of therapeutic exercise alone?

Under Medicare’s 8-minute rule, 38 timed minutes supports 3 units. When 97110 is the only timed service, all 3 units are assigned to 97110.

When should 97530 be chosen instead of 97110?

Use 97110 for exercises directed at strength, endurance, range of motion, or flexibility. Use 97530 for dynamic functional tasks, such as lifting or transfers, performed to improve functional activity.

Can 97110 be billed when the therapist supervises several patients exercising at once?

No. When the therapist works with two or more patients simultaneously without constant one-on-one contact, report group therapy with 97150, billed once per patient per session.

Which modifiers are used with 97110?

Report the applicable therapy discipline modifier: GP for physical therapy, GO for occupational therapy, or GN for speech-language pathology. Add CQ or CO when PTA or OTA involvement meets Medicare’s threshold for the billed unit; do not use modifier 26.

Is a home exercise program that the patient performs independently billable?

Time the patient spends exercising independently without skilled one-on-one treatment is not billable as 97110. Time spent teaching, demonstrating, and correcting therapeutic exercises for a home program one-on-one can count toward 97110 minutes.

Can 97110 be billed on the same day as a PT evaluation?

Yes. An evaluation code such as 97161 through 97163 can be reported with 97110 when exercise treatment is separately delivered, but evaluation minutes cannot also be counted as exercise time.

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.
