Are you billing for an E&M visit with the supplies?  Is that what you mean by PT visit?  Also, what type of supplies?

No Michelle Im billing with a GP modifier and the supplies are Surgilast tubular elastic dressing , gloves, paper tape, box of 4x4 gauze, box of 8x10 abdominal pads.

It's for an auto claim who is receiving Out Patient Physical Therapy services only.


Thank you

I have always billed the supplies on the same date as the PT visit.
