<h2>Coding</h2>
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
The CPT Editorial Panel ruled to include OMT codes starting in the 1994
|
||||||
|
edition of the CPT Manual. (All{" "}
|
||||||
|
<em>Physicians Current Procedural Terminology [CPT] </em>five-digit
|
||||||
|
numeric codes, descriptions, numeric modifiers, instructions,
|
||||||
|
guidelines, and other material are copyright American Medical
|
||||||
|
Association.)
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
Osteopathic manipulative treatment is a form of manual treatment applied
|
||||||
|
by a physician to eliminate or alleviate somatic dysfunction and related
|
||||||
|
disorders. This treatment may be accomplished by a variety of
|
||||||
|
techniques.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
Body regions are defined as head, cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacrum,
|
||||||
|
lower extremity, upper extremity, pelvis, ribs, abdomen and viscera.
|
||||||
|
(Such regions are defined in ICD-9-CM codes 739.0-739.9. This
|
||||||
|
information should be shown on the claim form or in the physician
|
||||||
|
record.

|
The physician, insurance companies, Medicare, Medicaid, workers
|
||||||
|
compensation and all other third party reimbursement systems need to
|
||||||
|
know the following:
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
<ul>
|
||||||
|
<li>
|
||||||
|
These codes are to be used by physicians for osteopathic manipulative
|
||||||
|
treatments as of January 1, 1994. It is important that all carriers,
|
||||||
|
claims examiners and physicians be educated on the use of these codes
|
||||||
|
so that the present confusion of coding can be resolved.
|
||||||
|
</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>
|
||||||
|
These codes are separate and distinct from evaluation and management
|
||||||
|
codes, and should be billed separately.
|
||||||
|
</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>
|
||||||
|
These codes are to be used for inpatient and outpatient osteopathic
|
||||||
|
manipulative treatment services along with the appropriate evaluation
|
||||||
|
and management codes.
|
||||||
|
</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>
|
||||||
|
These codes define the body regions appropriately for use with
|
||||||
|
osteopathic manipulative treatments.
|
||||||
|
</li>
|
||||||
|
</ul>
|
||||||
|
<h2>Using The Codes</h2>
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
These patient vignettes are designed to give specific examples of the
|
||||||
|
types of services involved in the procedure codes for osteopathic
|
||||||
|
manipulative treatment. Examples featuring different specialist
|
||||||
|
physicians and surgeons are used in the examples to illustrate that any
|
||||||
|
physician may utilize all of the codes found below. The definitions of
|
||||||
|
body areas are found in the ICD-9 reference text under the codes 739.0
|
||||||
|
through 739.9.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
After evaluating a patient and arriving at a diagnosis which includes
|
||||||
|
somatic dysfunction it is appropriate to utilize an evaluation and
|
||||||
|
management (E&M) code to describe the evaluation and management
|
||||||
|
service. If the diagnosis includes somatic dysfunction, the physician
|
||||||
|
then utilizes one of the following procedure codes for describing the
|
||||||
|
service of rendering OMT to treat the dysfunction.{" "}
|
||||||
|
<em>
|
||||||
|
Note that these procedure codes do not include the service involved in
|
||||||
|
determining a diagnosis.
|
||||||
|
</em>
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
<strong>98925</strong> OMT to one to two body regions defined.
|
||||||
|
<br />A 39-year-old presents to the family practitioner with right ankle
|
||||||
|
pain following an injury. After the evaluation and assessment of the
|
||||||
|
patient the physician arrives at a diagnosis of (1) ankle sprain and (2)
|
||||||
|
somatic dysfunction of the right lower extremity. This is coded for by
|
||||||
|
utilizing an appropriate E&M code. The use of 98925 involves the
|
||||||
|
treatment by the family practitioner utilizing application of
|
||||||
|
osteopathic manipulative treatment to the right lower extremity.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
<strong>98926 </strong>OMT to three to four body regions defined.
|
||||||
|
<br />A 4-year-old female presents to her pediatrician with a fever,
|
||||||
|
cough, and sputum production. After the E&M assessment and coding, a
|
||||||
|
diagnosis of (1) bronchitis and (2) somatic dysfunction of the cervical,
|
||||||
|
thoracic, rib and abdominal area is determined. The bronchitis is
|
||||||
|
treated with medications. The subsequent use of 98926 involves the
|
||||||
|
treatment by the pediatrician of the somatic dysfunction of the
|
||||||
|
cervical, thoracic, rib and abdominal regions utilizing osteopathic
|
||||||
|
manipulative treatment.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
<strong>98927 </strong>OMT to five to six body regions defined.
|
||||||
|
<br />A 42-year-old male presents to the neurosurgeon with confusion and
|
||||||
|
pain in the neck and upper back and exacerbation of a previous history
|
||||||
|
of lumbar disc herniation with radiculitis following a motorcycle
|
||||||
|
accident. After E&M assessment and coding, the diagnosis is that of
|
||||||
|
(1) closed head injury and (2) somatic dysfunction of the head,
|
||||||
|
cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacral and rib region. The subsequent use of
|
||||||
|
98927 involves the treatment by the neurosurgeon of the somatic
|
||||||
|
dysfunction of the head, cervical, lumbar, sacral and rib regions
|
||||||
|
utilizing osteopathic manipulative treatment.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
<strong>98928 </strong>OMT to seven to eight body regions defined.
|
||||||
|
<br />
|
||||||
|
Following cholecystectomy, a 32-year-old female develops abdominal pain
|
||||||
|
and distention. After E&M assessment and coding, the attending
|
||||||
|
physician and surgeon arrives at a diagnosis of (1 ) post-operative
|
||||||
|
ileus and (2) somatic dysfunction of the head, cervical, thoracic,
|
||||||
|
lumbar, sacral, ribs and abdominal/visceral regions. The subsequent use
|
||||||
|
of 98928 involves the treatment by the surgeon of the somatic
|
||||||
|
dysfunction of the head, cervical, thoracic, sacral, rib, and
|
||||||
|
abdominal/visceral regions utilizing osteopathic manipulative treatment.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
<strong>98929 </strong>OMT to nine to ten body regions defined.
|
||||||
|
<br />A 29-year-old female complains of generalized aching, low back
|
||||||
|
pain and cephalgia following a vaginal delivery. After assessment of the
|
||||||
|
patient using an E&M code the family practitioner arrives at a
|
||||||
|
diagnosis of (1 ) cephalgia and (2) post-obstetric somatic dysfunction
|
||||||
|
of the head, cervical, thoracic, rib cage, lumbar, sacral, pelvic, and
|
||||||
|
upper and lower extremity regions. The use of 98929 then involves the
|
||||||
|
application by the family practitioner of osteopathic manipulative
|
||||||
|
treatment to the head, cervical, thoracic, rib cage, lumbar, sacral,
|
||||||
|
pelvic abdominal upper and lower extremity areas.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
Complete and easily understandable documentation for OMT is necessary to
|
||||||
|
ensure adequate third party comprehension of the procedures for
|
||||||
|
appropriate payment. Different forms of osteopathic documentation exist
|
||||||
|
and should be reviewed for appropriate application. Available sources
|
||||||
|
for information on terminology and codes include the Glossary of
|
||||||
|
Osteopathic Terminology as published by the AOA, and information in CPT,
|
||||||
|
HCPCS and ICD-9-CM.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
A commonly used method of documentation for OMT is illustrated in the
|
||||||
|
use of the SOAP note. <strong>SOAP </strong>is an acronym for a format
|
||||||
|
of recording information found during a physician visit. It includes
|
||||||
|
Subjective complaints and histories from the patient; Objective findings
|
||||||
|
of the physician’s exam and tests; Assessment or differential diagnosis
|
||||||
|
based on the first two; and Plan that is the course of treatment
|
||||||
|
designed by the physician.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
Somatic dysfunction is a diagnosis utilized by osteopathic physicians to
|
||||||
|
code for disorders in the skeletal, arthrodial, myofascial and visceral
|
||||||
|
structures as well as related vascular, Iymphatic, and neural elements.
|
||||||
|
Palpatory findings may include, but are not limited to, tenderness,
|
||||||
|
asymmetry, range of motion abnormalities and tissue texture changes. A
|
||||||
|
more detailed list of terms and definitions can be found in the AOA
|
||||||
|
Glossary of Osteopathic Terminology.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
In general, osteopathic manipulative techniques include, but are not
|
||||||
|
limited to, three broad categories: soft tissue techniques such as
|
||||||
|
stretch, gentle range of motion, and kneading; direct techniques such as
|
||||||
|
joint mobilization, thrust and muscle energy; and, indirect techniques
|
||||||
|
such as myofascial release, strain/counters/rain and cranial osteopathy.
|
||||||
|
A complete list of techniques and their descriptions can be found in the
|
||||||
|
AOA Glossary of Osteopathic Terminology.
