IS MUSIC THERAPY A REIMBURSABLE SERVICE?

Medicare:  Since 1994, music therapy has been identified as a reimbursable service under benefits for Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHP).  Falling under the heading of "Active Therapy", the interventions cannot be purely recreational or diversionary in nature and must be individualized and based on goals specified in the treatment plan.  The current HCPCS Code for PHP is G0176.

 Medi-Cal:  Programs vary from state-to-state.

Private Insurance:  Music therapy is comparable to other health professions like occupational therapy and physical therapy in that individual assessments are provided for each client, service must be found reasonable and necessary for the individual's illness or injury, and interventions include a goal-directed documented treatment plan.
