Are You a PT Choosing Your Eval Complexity Codes?

This Cheat Sheet makes it less complex!

Physical therapy evaluation codes require a therapist to take into account several components when choosing the proper evaluation complexity. When these components are combined, the therapist is able to make a clinical decision and choose the appropriate evaluation level.

To aide in the process, the APTA has released a Physical Therapy Evaluation Reference Table. This chart can assist you in your clinical decision-making based on the required components of each complexity code.

It is important to note that there is no difference in reimbursement in these complexity codes. Rather, the three codes assist the therapist in giving a more detailed description of the patient’s diagnosis.
