Question:
What HCPCS codes describe respiratory therapy rehabilitation services?
Answer:
Services for respiratory therapy rehabilitation (RTR) as described by HCPCS codes G0237, G0238, and G0329 must be medically reasonable and necessary and prescribed by a physician for the assessment, diagnostic evaluation, treatment, management, and monitoring of patients with deficiencies and abnormalities of cardiopulmonary function. These HCPCS codes apply when a patient does not meet the COPD criteria set forth by Medicare.
