What is the Myofascial release billing code?

Myofascial release (MFR) is a type of massage therapy that uses slow, sustained pressure to release tension in the fascia, which is the connective tissue that surrounds muscles. MFR is often used to treat chronic pain, muscle spasms, and other conditions.

The billing code for MFR varies depending on the type of service provided and the setting in which it is provided. For example, the billing code for a 60-minute MFR session provided in a clinical setting is 97140, while the billing code for a 30-minute MFR session provided in a spa setting is 97124.

It is important to note that the billing code for MFR may also vary depending on the specific payer. For example, Medicare may have different billing codes for MFR than private insurers.

If you are considering receiving MFR, it is important to talk to your insurance provider to find out what billing codes are covered. You should also talk to your therapist to make sure that they are qualified to provide MFR and that they are using the correct billing code.
