  This article is from 2013, but I thought it was an interesting read. I feel I am constantly trying to understand billing more and more. This article discusses physical therapists (PTs), occupational therapists, and speech language
  pathologists who provide outpatient therapy services now must submit information on the claim form regarding their patients' functional limitations. This requirement applies to outpatient therapy services provided at hospitals, rural critical access hospitals, skilled nursing facilities (that bill such services under Medicare Part B),
  comprehensive outpatient rehabilitation facilities, rehabilitation agencies, home
  health agencies (billing under Part B), and in the private offices of therapists,
  physicians, and non-physician practitioners. Mandated by the Middle Class Tax Relief Act of 2012, the new requirements facilitate the intention of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to use this information to reform the future payment process for outpatient therapy services. The article goes further into details discussing G-Codes.
