Starting Jan. 1, 2022, physicians should start using the new CPT Codes 94625 and 94626 to report pulmonary rehabilitation services
As of 1/1/2022, there are two new billing codes for Pulmonary Rehabilitation (G0424 is retired as of 12/31/21)
◦ 94625 – Outpatient pulmonary rehabilitation without continuous oximetry monitoring (per session)
◦ 94626 – Outpatient pulmonary rehabilitation with continuous oximetry monitoring (per session)
◦ Both codes represent a 60-minute session
◦ One session is when the patient is in the facility 31 minutes or greater (NOT exercise duration)
◦ Two sessions is when the patient is in the facility 91 minutes or greater (first session must equal 60 minutes, second session 31 minutes)
◦ Exercise DOES need to happen in each session
