What should the going rate be for this CPT code 97037?
That would be for you to determine.
That’s interesting that it’s an untimed code and and requires constant attendance. I always thought that constant attendance codes were timed and fell in the 9703xx category. I thought those that fell in the 9701xx-9702x range were untimed and did not require constant attendance.
Am I missing anything with the CPT code pattern/rationale?
To you knowledge, will there be ICD-10 diagnosis code requirements since the definition has post-operative pain management? At this time, CMS does not reimburse for it while the jury is out on other payers.
I do ont believe that will occur.
Can low-level laser therapy be combined with Manual Therapy or other CPT codes?
You would want to look at the new version of NCCI edits.
Sorry, I meant to ask if low level laser therapy can be billed under Manual Therapy (as a means of treating soft tissue – similar to suction?).
No!
Is this only approved for PTs, like the dry needling code?
Would Class IV Laser fall under this – it is thermal.
No!
