On September 8, 2020, the American Medical Association released CPT code 99072 and this code became effective immediately. I have previously published 2 articles on this CPT code. The first was on September 22, 2020 titled “CPT Code 99072: Can Therapists Bill This Code“? and the second was published on October 12, 2020 and titled “CPT Code 99072: Things to Think About“.

If CMS and other insurance carriers release updated information on the use and payment of this CPT code, I will update this article. Thank you for being a Gold Member!,
