Great list of diagnosis codes! Although it looks like many of the new headache codes are missing on the page.

What about the maintenance diagnosis code that you list in order to bill S8990? I can’t remember it and can’t find it. I think it’s a V code.

Maintenance Care? There is no code that I know of…in Medicare, you signify that an adjustment was Maintenance by removing the -AT (active) from the CMT code.

NOTE: Just found this on a PT site:
http://www.findacode.com/hcpcs/s8990-physical-manipulative-therapy-performed-maintenance-rather-hcpcs-code.html

At the bottom they mistakenly state:

* Note: Medicare may or may NOT reimburse you for this code.

For chiropractic care, in Medicare, you signify that an adjustment was Maintenance Care by removing the -AT (active) from the CMT code.
