Document actual SLP patient contact time in 15-minute increments and link units billed to the clinical notes showing time and skilled service provided.
For SGD services billed with CPT 92607 or 92609, retain documentation supporting selection/prescription, adaptation, and training provided to the patient.
If performing a re-evaluation, document clinical rationale and use the applicable evaluation CPT code with supporting clinical findings since no separate SLP re-evaluation CPT exists.
