Therapeutic Procedure(s), group (2 or more individuals) (CPT code 97150)

Contractors pay for outpatient physical therapy services (which includes outpatient speech-language pathology services) and outpatient occupational therapy services provided simultaneously to two or more individuals by a practitioner as group therapy services. The individual can be, but need not be performing the same activity. The physician or therapist involved in group therapy services must be in constant attendance, but one-on-one patient contact is not required. If a therapist or physician performs any of the procedures with two or more individuals concurrently or during the same time period, then only 97150 is reported for each patient.
