   Physician documentation states "90 minutes was spent on clinical testing and an additional 90 minutes spent reviewing and documenting data." would it be appropriate to bill 97750 x 12units?

   Thanks for any help,
   Linda

   At the conclusion of the therapy episode, the therapist will prepare a discharge note that details the patient’s treatment and status since the last progress note. Writing the progress report and discharge note are not separately billable services for the therapist, but are required for Medicare documentation.
   So, this is evident that time spent in testing is the one that descides the number of units for the code, but reviewing and writing the document is a medicare requirement for documentation purpose.
   Conclusion:
   97750 x 6 units.

   Arguments of Try Super sounds logical. Still, this is an area needed additional research.
