Struggling with billing errors and claim denials? Incorrect use of physical therapy CPT codes is often the culprit, leading to delayed reimbursements and audits. In this guide, we’ll help you master the most important CPT codes for physical therapy to avoid costly mistakes.
What is a CPT Code?
CPT (Current Procedural Terminology) code is a five-digit number used to identify specific medical, surgical, and diagnostic services. These codes are used by healthcare providers, including physical therapists, to describe the services they provide. Proper usage of CPT codes for physical therapy ensures that treatments are correctly documented and billed.
For physical therapy CPT codes define everything from therapeutic exercises and manual therapy to modalities like electrical stimulation. These codes help insurance companies and Medicare determine the appropriate payment for the services rendered. Without correct coding, claims can be delayed or denied.
What are the Most Common Physical Therapy CPT Codes?
The most common physical therapy CPT codes are essential for almost every therapy session. Some of the most frequently used codes are
97110 | Therapeutic exercises designed to improve strength, endurance, range of motion, and flexibility (15 minutes) |
97140 | Manual therapy methods, including connective tissue massage, joint mobilization and manipulation, and manual traction (15 minutes) |
97112 | Neuromuscular Re-education: Therapeutic procedure for one or more areas, each lasting 15 minutes; focusing on neuromuscular reeducation of movement, balance, coordination, kinesthetic awareness, posture, and/or proprioception for sitting and/or standing activities |
97530 | Therapeutic Activities/Kinetic |
97010 | Hot packs |
97010 | Hot or cold packs therapy |
97010 | Cold packs |
97014 | Electrical stimulation (unattended) |
G0283 | Electrical stimulation (unattended), to one or more areas for indication(s) other than wound care, as part of a therapy plan of care.) |
97161 | Physical therapy evaluation (Low complexity) |
97035 | Ultrasound (15 minutes) |
97116 | Therapeutic procedure, one or more areas, each 15 minutes; gait training (includes stair climbing)(15 minutes) |
97162 | Physical Therapy Evaluation (Moderate complexity) |
97535 | Self-care/Home Management Training: One-on-one direct contact (15 minutes) focusing on activities of daily living (ADL), compensatory training, meal preparation, safety procedures, and guidance on the use of assistive technology devices or adaptive equipment. |
97507 | Treatment of speech, language, voice, communication, and/or auditory processing disorder; individual |
97016 | Vasopneumatic devices |
97164 | Re-evaluation of physical therapy established plan of care |

Understanding Modifier 59: What It Is and How to Use It.
Modifier 59 is used to indicate that a procedure or service is distinct and separate from other services performed on the same day. It’s typically used when a procedure that is normally billed together with another service needs to be reported separately because it was performed independently under certain circumstances.
In the therapy setting, modifier 59 may come into play if you are providing two completely separate services during the same treatment session. For example, if you’re performing two distinct procedures that are not usually billed together, modifier 59 can be used to indicate that these services are separate and unrelated.
When Should You Use Modifier 59?
Modifier 59 is used when the services performed are:
- A different session or patient encounter
- A different procedure, site, or organ system
- A separate incision/excision, lesion, or injury
However, if there is another modifier that more accurately describes the situation, it should be used instead of modifier 59. Modifier 59 is a fallback option when no other modifier fits, and it should only be applied when there is a clear distinction between the services provided.
How Does It Work in Therapy?
In therapy, certain procedures are often performed together. The National Correct Coding Initiative (NCCI) identifies these common procedure pairs, called “edit pairs.” If you bill a PT CPT code that is part of one of these pairs, you may only receive payment for one of the codes. If the procedures you’re billing for are truly separate and distinct, modifier 59 allows you to bypass the NCCI edit and get reimbursed for both services.
Imagine a patient receives both manual therapy and therapeutic activities during a single session. These are two distinct services, and if Modifier 59 is applied to indicate they were performed independently, the therapist can receive reimbursement for both. Without the modifier, the insurance company might assume they were bundled as part of a single treatment and reimburse only one service.
When Should I Use Modifier 59?
Using Modifier 59 appropriately is key to ensuring that services are paid for correctly. You should use Modifier 59 when:
Are you billing for two services that form an NCCI edit pair?
Many procedures are subject to National Correct Coding Initiative (NCCI) edits, which suggest that certain services should be bundled together. Modifier 59 allows therapists to override this rule and bill the services separately if appropriate.
Did you perform those two services separately and independently of one another?
If the two treatments were distinct and performed separately, Modifier 59 can be used to bill each service independently. This applies when there is a clear difference between the two treatments.
Does your documentation support your assertion that you performed the two services separately and independently?
Proper documentation is crucial. Your notes must clearly show that the services provided were distinct and necessary for the patient’s treatment. This documentation is essential for justifying the use of Modifier 59.
Is a more descriptive modifier available?
Sometimes, a more specific modifier (such as XS, XP, or XE) might be more appropriate than Modifier 59, depending on the circumstances. If a more descriptive modifier applies, it should be used instead of Modifier 59.
What are the Most Commonly Used CCI Edits for PT, OT, and SLP Private Practice Settings?
The following table, provided by PT compliance expert Rick Gawenda, owner of Gawenda Seminars & Consulting, includes common CCI edit pairs related to various therapy types. Here’s how to use it:
- Locate the primary PT CPT codes you are billing in Column 1.
- Review Column 2. If the code listed in Column 2 is included, it will be considered linked or mutually exclusive.
- If you see a “y” next to the code in Column 2, you may apply modifier 59.
- If there’s an “n,” do not bill the code from Column 2 in combination with the code from Column 1.
Please note that this CCI edit list is specifically for Medicare. Most government insurers, including Medicare, Tricare, and Medicaid, generally follow this same list. However, private insurance providers often create their own edit pairs, so reimbursement is not guaranteed, even with modifier 59 applied.

How to Submit Claims for Initial Evaluation and Re-evaluation Services
Starting January 1, 2017, physical therapists (PTs) and occupational therapists (OTs) are no longer allowed to use PT CPT codes 97001, 97002, 97003, and 97004 for billing initial evaluations and re-evaluations. These codes have been replaced by a set of eight new evaluative codes: two for re-evaluations and six for evaluations.
However, this change is not as simple as a direct replacement. The new codes for initial evaluations are categorized based on the complexity of the evaluation. PTs and OTs must now assess whether a patient’s evaluation is of low, moderate, or high complexity and select the appropriate CPT code for physical therapy that reflects the level of complexity. Here’s a brief overview of the new codes:
Replacement CPT codes for physical therapy for 97001
97161 | Physical therapy evaluation: low complexity |
97162 | Physical therapy evaluation: moderate complexity |
97163 | Physical therapy evaluation: high complexity |
Replacement CPT Physical Therapy Codes for 97003
97165 | Occupational therapy evaluation: low complexity |
97166 | Occupational therapy evaluation: moderate complexity |
97167 | Occupational therapy evaluation: high complexity |
Replacement CPT code for physical therapy for 97002 and 97004
97164 | thorough examination (which involves reviewing the patient’s history and utilizing standardized tests and measures) An updated plan of care (developed using a standardized patient assessment tool and/or measurable evaluation of functional outcomes) |
97168 | Re-evaluation of an occupational therapy plan involves assessing changes in the patient’s status, updating the occupational profile, and revising the plan of care when there are changes in functional status or when significant adjustments are needed. |
