Avoid billing mistakes the next time you spend 1:1 time with a client. Our 8 minute rule chart breaks down the number of minutes and billing units ensuring accurate and consistent data.

Tip: The timer starts when you start providing skilled services. Keep in mind that gathering information, assessing, and educating the patient are part of skilled services, particularly when you use that information to guide intervention strategies. 

Note: This chart is for timed services only. Always check with health insurance if you need to use timed vs untimed CPT codes and if they require the above 8-minute rule.
