Can you bill for HEPs?

Modified on Tue, 24 Sep at 9:12 PM

No, you cannot bill for HEPs alone, but you can bill CPT codes 97110 (therapeutic exercises) or 97530 (therapeutic activities) when you teach the home exercises to the patient in real time in the office.  These codes are commonly accepted by insurance companies but come with limitations:  

1. They MUST happen in the office. 

2. You or your staff are required to spend at least 15 minutes with the patient. 

3. Reimbursement rates are often low for the amount of time spent.
