Rules snapshot (informational)
- SNF Part A (PDPM): Concurrent = 2 residents, different activities, line-of-sight; Group = 2-6 similar activities; group + concurrent limited to a 25% combined cap per discipline. Sources: Noridian JE Part A, ASHA modes, Plante Moran PDPM overview.
- Medicare Part B: “Concurrent” is not a Part B category; simultaneous treatment is billed as group (PT/OT 97150 guidance). Sources: CMS 11 Part B Billing Scenarios, Claims Processing Manual.
- SLP specifics: 92508 is group speech/language/voice/etc; not dysphagia/cognition unless payer allows. Sources: ASHA group therapy guidance, ASHA modes of service delivery.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does concurrent therapy count as double minutes?
It depends on your facility and payer. Use the crediting model selector to match how your productivity tracking counts concurrent time.
Concurrent vs group therapy: what is the difference?
Concurrent is typically two patients doing different activities with line-of-sight. Group is two to six patients doing the same or similar activity.
Why does Medicare Part B treat concurrent as group?
Part B does not define a concurrent category for PT/OT; simultaneous treatment is billed as group under 97150 guidance.
How does this differ for SLP?
Group speech therapy uses 92508, and not all payers allow all diagnosis types. Confirm your payer rules.
What is the PDPM 25% group/concurrent limit?
PDPM caps combined concurrent and group minutes at 25% of total therapy minutes per discipline in a SNF Part A stay.
How should I set the crediting method?
Pick the method that matches how your productivity system credits minutes. If unsure, ask your rehab manager or billing lead.
What happens if I leave concurrent minutes at zero?
