Summary
This policy update clarifies that both Sensory Integration Therapy and Auditory Integration Therapy remain investigational (not covered) services. The policy description was updated but the coverage determination remains unchanged - these therapies are still considered investigational and not medically necessary.
Action Required
Immediately: Billing team should verify that claims for CPT 97533 and HCPCS codes G9041-G9044 (sensory integration and auditory integration therapies) are flagged as investigational/non-covered services. Ensure denial processes are in place and providers are notified that these services remain investigational. Update any internal coverage guidelines to reflect continued non-coverage status.
