We have an OTR who works on our NIC unit and spends a considerable amount of

time consulting with parents about proper positioning and review of home

programs. Many times the baby is not available for one on one therapy due to

varies reasons. Is this time able to be billed using CPT codes since she is

not always able to actually work one on one with the babies? During the times

when she is able to work with the babies we are using either 97110 - Therapeutic

exercise or 97112 - Neuromuscular reeducation. Also, we have been approached

by a member of our palliative care team wanting to use OT more for consultation

with the patient and/or family. Would this be able to billed or would it be

more feasible to have orders written for an OT evaluation/treatment to make

recommendations related to energy conservation/ joint protection, ADL's, safety

issues etc. Thanks for your consideration
