Hello,
Request to guide that, can we report 97110 (Therapeutic procedure, 1 or more areas, each 15 minutes; therapeutic exercises to develop strength and endurance, range of motion and flexibility) for below scenario ?
In the office visit of Worker's Compensation of California by general practitioner or family medicine, provider documents below paragraph with the heading of therapeutic exercises.
THERAPEUTIC EXERCISES
The patient was personally trained in appropriate warm up, strengthening and stretching exercises. These rehabilitative exercises were reiterated, demonstrated and reinforced; while the patient actively participated. This is also intended to be performed at home on a daily basis. The rehabilitation routine decreases inflammation, increases flexibility and strength of the specific structures in the injury adjacent locale to include both agonist and antagonist muscle groups, intrinsic flexor, extensor and rotary muscles as well as supporting structures. The exercises were intended to increase strength and range of motion and decrease pain. The minimum time required for CPT 97110 was exceeded for this patient.
