"Because the procedure involves deep tissue mobilization to the fascia, it should be coded as 97140 (manual therapy techniques [e.g., mobilization/manipulation, manual lymphatic drainage, manual traction], one or more regions, each 15 minutes).
Prior to Jan. 1999, myofascial release had its own code (97250), which was deleted and grouped into 97140. Because 97250 is no longer applicable or listed in CPT, some coders erroneously believe that HCFA has discontinued reimbursement. Although the descriptor for 97140 does not specifically list myofascial release as one of the payable options, most local Medicare carriers recognize it as reimbursable."
