AACVPR's FAQs address some of the most common and important issues in Cardiac and Pulmonary Rehabilitation, including Billing, Medical Director Supervision and Outcomes. Here are just a few of the many questions you can find answers to on the AACVPR Web site:
- Is the 36 session CR and PR programs once in a lifetime or per calendar year or per event?
- We have heard that some Cardiac Rehab programs have received denials from commercial payers for the CPT 93797 code. We are concerned about the patients ending up with a large bill before we use this. Ideas?
- What is the minimum number of minutes required for a session to be billable to Medicare?
- What is the best way to document supervising physician coverage on a daily basis?
- Are there specific assessment/outcomes tools that AACVPR recommends?
- Can CR and PR patients exercise in the same class?
- Can the MD referral order to PR be part of the ITP?
