Documentation plays a key role in explaining the necessity of the 
medical procedures rendered by you to your patients. All 
documentation must comply with all the necessary legal and 
regulatory requirements applicable to the state in which you 
undertake your medical practices.
All the medical records must have the necessary details like type, 
intensity, frequency, and the duration of the treatment to a 
patient.

Additionally, all the medical records must also include the following:
Initial Evaluation: it consists of a plan of care; medical necessity documents; 
and the objective findings.
Plan of care: diagnoses; a goal for the long-term treatment; type, duration, 
amount, and frequency of the therapy services provided.
Progress Reports: short and long-term goals along with the continued 
treatment or assessment.
Treatment Notes: the encounter notes must contain the details of the 
treatment name, total treatment time, the intervention of activity, and the 
signature of the medical professional providing the speech therapy services.

documentations or simply don’t have the required time to handle it by yourself, 
think of hiring the 24/7 Medical Billing Services. We are experts in executing all

Using the Most Accurate ICD-10 Codes
Coding is the most troublesome task required for claims submission in speech 
therapy medical billing. There are dozens of codes that might be applicable for 
your services and diagnoses with the precise rules governing them. Thus, it can be 
complicated for you as a speech therapist to remember all the codes and which 
codes apply in what situation.
Moreover, ICD-10 codes are the ones that describe the diagnoses you provide. 
They can be extremely challenging as they are so specific. For instance, one ICD 
code might work, but another code must describe your speech diagnosis, allowing 
you for the reimbursements for the services provided by you. You need to be 
familiar with all the ICD-10 codes that you will frequently be using and also keep 
handy an entire list of all the required speech therapy ICD-10 codes with their 
descriptions. Also, be sure to review the list timely and before assigning any code 
to the case. Another alternative to avoid this cumbersome process of preparing 
and checking the list is outsourcing your speech therapy to 24/7 Medical Billing 
Services.

Use of Time-based Codes
Undoubtedly, most of the CPT codes used by the speech therapists are session-
based, i.e., untimed. But sometimes, you might need to use a timed code- for 
instance, code 96125 is used for standardized cognitive performance testing and 
coded per hour of a qualified medical speech therapist time. The time spent 
includes both one-to-one times administering tests and interpreting results for 
these tests, along with preparing the report.
It is also important to know the applicable rules when the timed codes are used in 
speech therapy. For instance, as per the 51% rule, you must spend at least 6 
minutes with your patient to use the 15-minute code. Also, it comes to 16 minutes 
for a 30-minute code and at least 31 minutes for a 60-minute code. Additionally, 
Medicare has different rules that governed the timed codes. Therefore, it is quite 
obvious that if you use the timed codes incorrectly, you will definitely face a claim 
denial or rejection. This clearly highlights the need for outsourcing the billing to an 
expert’s team.

Conclusion
One of the most important and challenging tasks for the speech 
therapist is to submit the clean claims with all the requirements to 
get the 100% reimbursement timely. However, speech therapists 
neither have the time to thoroughly research the intricacies nor 
have the required knowledge. In fact, it shouldn’t even be 
expected from them. That’s why 24/7 Medical Billing Services are 
always recommended as your outsourcing partner for speech 
pathology medical billing and coding.
