Article Overview

This article reviews a Part B News analysis of CMS claims data for 2007 to identify ten frequently billed codes that saw the largest year-over-year growth among nonphysician practitioners. It focuses on broad utilization trends, especially immunization administration and physical therapy, and places the findings in the context of payer oversight and billing patterns. The piece is useful for coders, billing staff, compliance teams, and practice administrators who monitor coding volume and specialty-driven claim trends.
