97199

97199 is a medical billing code, specifically a CPT (Current Procedural Terminology) code. These codes are used by physicians and other healthcare providers to describe the medical services they perform. CPT codes are standardized across the United States and are essential for billing insurance companies and Medicare. The code 97199 falls under the "Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation" section and is designated as an "unspecified" or "unlisted" code. This means it is used when a specific service performed by a healthcare provider does not have a more precise CPT code available. When 97199 is used, a detailed description of the service rendered must be submitted along with the claim for proper review and payment. This ensures that even unique or novel treatments can be billed appropriately. The use of unlisted codes like 97199 is generally reserved for situations where no other existing code accurately reflects the procedure.
