Claims

Services Provided Beyond Daily Limits

When a PT, OT, or SLP service, which is indicated by a procedure code that specifies the unit of time, is provided beyond 90 minutes per day, the provider should submit a claim for the actual duration of the service provided. After the claim is reimbursed, an Adjustment/Reconsideration Request form, HCF 13046 (fillable PDF, 142 KB), must be submitted with documentation verifying that the duration of the service was medically necessary. The adjustment request must be submitted on paper because a national standard for electronic claim attachments has not been established at this time. Refer to the Claims Information section of the All-Provider Handbook for general information about submitting paper adjustment requests.
