Annual Update to the Therapy Code List
Annual CRs update the list of codes that are described as “sometimes” or “always” therapy services. This will include additions, changes and deletions to the therapy code list. The current and previous therapy code listings can be found on CMS’ Therapy Services web page.
CPT codes designated as “sometimes therapy” permits physicians and certain NPPs, including nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and clinical nurse specialists, to furnish these services outside a therapy plan of care when appropriate. When furnished by therapists, these "sometimes therapy" services are “always therapy,” which means they must be accompanied by the appropriate therapy modifier, GP, GO or GN, to reflect that it is under a physical therapy, occupational therapy, or speech-language pathology plan of care, respectively.
