Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Occupational Therapy
  • Sensory Integration Theory
  • Health Services Research

Background:

  • Children with sensory challenges often need occupational therapy.
  • Ayres Sensory Integration® (ASI) is an evidence-based intervention.
  • Reimbursement for CPT Code 97533 is inconsistent.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Clarify distinctions between ASI and sensory-based interventions.
  • Outline billing and documentation for CPT Code 97533.
  • Examine barriers to reimbursement and underutilization of the code.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of current practices in ASI service delivery.
  • Review of billing and documentation requirements for CPT Code 97533.
  • Examination of reimbursement barriers and their impact.

Main Results:

  • Inconsistent reimbursement for CPT Code 97533 is a significant barrier.
  • Underutilization and inaccurate documentation of ASI services are prevalent.
  • Distinctions between ASI and other sensory interventions require clarification.

Conclusions:

  • CPT Code 97533 should be reserved for high-fidelity ASI by trained clinicians.
  • Code descriptor language changes are recommended for clarity and ethical documentation.
  • A multilevel strategy involving education and advocacy is essential for improved access and research.
