CPT 97112 reports neuromuscular reeducation of movement, balance, coordination, and proprioception, billed in 15-minute units.
When to use 97112
Use 97112 for one-on-one neuromuscular retraining, distinct from therapeutic exercise (97110), gait training (97116), and manual therapy (97140).
How to bill it
Report one unit per 15 minutes under the 8-minute rule. 97112 targets balance, coordination, and proprioception; when delivered concurrently with 97110 in the same 15-minute block, only one timed code counts, so document the procedures separately.
Common pitfalls
- Confusing neuromuscular reeducation (97112) with therapeutic exercise (97110).
- Billing without documenting the balance, coordination, or movement focus.
Frequently asked questions
How does 97112 differ from 97110?
97112 reeducates movement, balance, and coordination; 97110 builds strength, ROM, and endurance through exercise.
Is 97112 timed?
Yes. 97112 is billed in 15-minute units under the 8-minute rule, but if performed concurrently with another timed code such as 97110, only one code counts per 15-minute block.
