Medicaid Billing Module Physical Therapy Billing Form Changes • Services must be documented on the current IEP for meetings held prior to August 1, 2015. • Services must be documented on Service Care Plan for IEP meetings held after August 1, 2015. • As of August 1, 2015 PT specific ICD diagnosis codes are required. ICD-9 codes are in effect through September 30, 2015. ICD codes must relate to the specific type of therapy being provided. A global code such as Cerebral Palsy would not be sufficient. • As of October 1, 2015 PT specific ICD-10 diagnosis codes are required. Think of these more as treating diagnosis codes. Physician Authorization • Physician Authorization is still required annually to bill for physical therapy. • PT suggested ICD-10 diagnosis (treating) code should be included on this form. When the Physician signs the form they are also confirming the therapist’s code(s). • Authorization can now be from a Physician's Assistant or an Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN). • Authorization is good for one calendar year from the date signed.
