Wiki 97116 and the Emergency Room

[alisonbee]

We provide gait training along with the crutches in our ED. An order by the MD or PA-C or ARNP exists for both the crutches and the gait training.

Is it appropriate to use 97116 for this service, or is it considered part of the E/M level?

 

[mitchellde]

That is part of the E&M.

 

[alisonbee]

Thanks for the confirmation!

Is this true for Urgent Care facilities as well?

I agree as part of the E/M... thanks for the reinforcing!!
