Occupational Therapy billing and revenue cycle for Indiana providers.
Indiana operates 440 occupational therapy billing organizations registered in NPPES, representing 1.9 percent of the U.S. occupational therapy billing footprint.

Indiana OT practices need RCM with OT depth.
What good occupational therapy billing execution looks like for Indiana providers.
The Indiana occupational therapy billing market has its own quirks. Here is the operating discipline we install on every Indiana engagement.
- 8-minute rule + timed code billingOT billing under Medicare 8-minute rule converts treatment minutes to billable units for timed codes (97165-97168 evaluation, 97530, 97535, 97537 treatment). Accurate time tracking is foundational.
- GO modifier disciplineAll OT services bill with GO modifier identifying occupational therapy discipline. Missing GO triggers denial.
- Plan of Care + recertification cycleMedicare requires physician-signed Plan of Care every 90 days for OT. Recertification timing must be tracked.
- KX modifier above therapy thresholdOT shares therapy threshold with SLP ($2,330 in 2025 combined). KX modifier and supporting documentation required above threshold.
- Pediatric OT + school-based billingIndiana pediatric OT may bill Indiana Health Coverage Programs (IHCP) EPSDT, school-based services, or commercial. Each requires distinct workflow.
- Hand therapy + specialty OT codingHand therapy and other specialty OT carry distinct procedure codes with documentation requirements. Specialty coding depth matters.
