The CMS Therapy Services webpage has undergone a recent update, specifically in the "Implementation of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018" section on the landing page. This update is designed to provide you with the most current and vital information regarding the KX modifier threshold amounts for the calendar year 2024.

In the year 2024, the KX modifier threshold amounts stand as follows:
For a combined total of physical therapy and speech-language pathology services, the threshold amount is set at $2,330.
Additionally, for occupational therapy services, the KX modifier threshold is also established at $2,330.
 
These threshold amounts play a pivotal role in the CMS's reimbursement policies and are essential for healthcare providers and practitioners to be aware of, ensuring accurate billing and reimbursement for therapy services.
