The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) reimburses for outpatient therapy services under Medicare Part B utilizing the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule (MPFS) in all settings except for critical access hospitals (CAH’s). CAH’s are reimbursed on a cost basis. CMS has developed a fee schedule that encompasses work expenses, practice expenses, and malpractice expenses for each modality and procedure (CPT code) that therapists provide to their Medicare patients. The amount that CMS reimburses is dependent upon the area in the country that you provide the outpatient therapy services. Currently, there are 91 localities in the encompassing United States, Puerto Rico, and Guam.
