Guest guest Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 2nd request for help: Group: I understand when performing e-stim for pain control or edema you would charge G0283. I also understand that no matter how long or how many areas are treated it is still one unit. My question is two fold. First if performing Russian for strengthening/ neuro reed followed by IFC with CP for pain/edema control, could you charge 97032 for the first then G0283 for the second. This would be most relevant under part B/ OP billing. Secondly under the Part A payor would all of the minutes be considered 1:1 treatment or in the case of the G0283 would only the setup/assessment time actually be considered 1:1 and the rest of the code go under the clinic time minutes? Furthermore, if it would be considered clinic time, is it considered concurrent treatment if while the patient is on IFC you begin therex with the next patient? Thank you in advance for your assistance. Pamela J.

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 Pam, I can only speak to your first question (Part . Typically 97032 is reserved for attended e-stim, such as with the use of a probe, through an ultrasound applicator (then cannot charge US for the same time period) or when training and then delivering a home TENS unit. That being said, Russian, IFC, premod as in your example would fall under CPT G0283 and you would only be able to charge one unit per day.
