Question:
Do any special billing requirements exist related to new 2022 codes 94625 and 94626?
Answer:
In the hospital outpatient setting, payment for PR services will be set by establishing a clinical APC with a median “per-session” cost, simulated from historical claims data for similar pulmonary therapy services. Physical therapists cannot bill PT codes separately if they conduct assessments and individual treatment services as part of a PR program. The PT services are now included as part of the overall treatment plan for PR and are to be billed using the new codes 94625–94626 for 2022.
