Physical Therapy Evaluation plus 4 Units of Direct 1 to 1 Treatment in 60 minutes

Novitas-Solutions website states the following:
"Untimed codes
The units for untimed codes are reported based on the number of times the procedure is performed, as described in the HCPCS code definition (often once per day). When reporting service units for codes where the procedure is not defined by a specific timeframe (untimed codes), a 1 is entered in the unit's field.
Note: The units for untimed codes are based upon the number of times the procedure is performed regardless of the number of minutes spent.
The following are examples of untimed codes:
Evaluations/Re-evaluations (97161-97168).
Group therapy (97150).
Supervised modalities (97012)."

Absolutely. The best way is to use this tool to schedule. I will have availability most afternoons. I am EST timezone. This site charges by the minute so even if you request 30 but only use 12 it only charges you for 12.

How does billing work for non Medicare? Like for example, how does billing an eval code plus 5 units work ethically/non-fraudulently?
