The practice I work for provides PT, OT, and SLP for children ages birth to 3. (Private insurance and Medicaid, no Medicare.) My therapists have asked if they are allowed to include the time they spend charting a visit, in with the time spent F2F with a child. For example, a therapist has a 45 minute session with a patient, spends an additional 15 minutes charting after the visit is completed and then expects to bill for an hour. I have adamantly said NO to this but I can't find anything definitive in my CPT book that says anything one way or another. Any thoughts?
