The program will discuss the updates for 2027 for physical and occupational therapy. While there were not code changes, the 2027 CMS Fee Schedule Final Rule had several topics of discussion and acceptance by CMS. There are also the usual changes to the annual threshold and reminders about the differences there could be between insurance companies and the way they address the times for therapy services. There was also a request of several therapy codes to be reviewed by the American Medical Association Relative Unit Committee in misvalued codes.
