Electrical Stimulation Therapy, Hands-On

North Dakota rates for HCPCS 97032

In this physical therapy treatment, a therapist applies electrical stimulation directly to one or more areas of the body, adjusting the treatment as it's delivered, typically to reduce pain, decrease muscle spasm, or help retrain muscle activity. Because a therapist provides hands-on, direct contact time throughout the treatment, it differs from a related treatment where the equipment runs unattended once it's set up. It's billed in short, direct treatment time increments.
