CPT 97001 – CPT 97004 | Descriptions & Replacement Codes
The initial evaluation identifies the problem or difficulty the patient is having, which helps determine the appropriate therapy necessary to treat the patient.
An evaluation is a comprehensive service requiring professional skills to make clinical judgments about conditions for which services are indicated.
If a new diagnosis/problem is encountered, an additional evaluation may be appropriate to determine what treatment is necessary for the separate identifiable diagnosis/problem.
Re-evaluations are indicated periodically when the professional assessment indicates a significant improvement or decline in the patient’s condition or functional status. The re-evaluation focuses on the patient’s progress toward current goals.
Professional judgment determines continued care, modifying goals and/or treatment, or terminating services.
