Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment is covered when medically necessary and performed by a qualified physician, in patients whose history and physical examination indicate the presence of somatic dysfunction of one or more regions.
Keeping this in view, can an MD bill for OMT?
MDs. Pas, NPs, can bill for OMT if it is within the scope of their practice despite objections by many Dos. DCs must use DC codes and PT/OT must use their codes, as they do not have full scope of practice privileges in most settings.
Accordingly, how do you bill OMT?
When OMT is provided, the evaluation and management service should be billed using the appropriate code (eg, 99212 through 99215) with a -25 modifier to indicate that a separately identifiable service was performed on the same day.
On MDsave, the cost of Osteopathic Manipulation (1-2 body regions) is $49 .
