An 8 minute rule physical therapy units calculator, a codes block and the billing statements PTs type every day, as snippets you can insert wherever you document. Type a shortcut, fill in the popup, and the text lands in your note. You individualize every line and check every unit before you bill.

What's inside the 8 minute rule physical therapy pack

Templates:

• /8min: tick the timed services you gave and enter minutes for each. It works out total timed minutes and physical therapy billing units, then assigns them to each code the way the Medicare manual's 8-minute rule examples do, for you to check
• /codes: timed codes for physical therapy and untimed codes picked from drop-down menus, with code numbers and plain descriptions, plus total and untimed minutes

Shorter snippets:

• /kx the KX modifier physical therapy statement for care above the yearly threshold
• /bte, /bta and /bn skilled-need lines for therapeutic exercise, therapeutic activities and neuromuscular re-education, each with a text box for the deficit you are treating
• /lowcx and /modcx evaluation complexity statements
• /psmc planned services for the certification period
• /grp a scheduled group session with one patient
• /aa, /ptasup and /spt aide, PTA and student PT supervision statements

How it works

• Type a shortcut in WebPT, Prompt, Net Health or any browser EMR, or in installed programs through the desktop app
• Fill in the text boxes and pick from the menus as it inserts. Guidance notes show while you fill in the form, never in the note
• Other payers may count units per code instead, so check each payer's rules. No statement guarantees payment

Free to install. Use /8min on your next daily note. Then save one sentence you type often as your own snippet: /kx is a good first one, and it turns a full statement into three characters.
