Procedure Codes

• ALL RECORDED PROCEDURES MUST BE INDICATED ON THE
  STUDENTS CURRENT IEP!
• You will be recording the one or two digit
  abbreviation, not the entire procedure code, on
  your service record.
• Pay attention to your units! For OT/PT, some
  codes are 15 minute units, others are events. For
  Speech, all codes are billed by the event.
• An event is an encounter with a student,
  regardless of the amount of time that encounter
  requires.

Evaluations

• All evaluations are not billable!
• The student must qualify for the service in order
  for an evaluation to be billable. For example A
  student is evaluated for speech, and does not
  qualify. The evaluation is therefore not
  billable.
• If as a result of an evaluation, a student
  currently receiving speech services is no longer
  eligible, the evaluation is not billable!
• Likewise, if an initial evaluation determines
  that the student does not require speech
  services, the evaluation is not billable.
• Record your evaluation ONE TIME even though it
  may have taken two or more sessions to complete
  the evaluation.
