Common errors: (1) Using bundled/non-specific codes instead of itemized specific codes; (2) Missing modifier requirements (GN for SLP, GO for OT, modifier KX for threshold overages); (3) Billing cognitive function codes (97129, 97130) without medical necessity documentation; (4) Incorrect evaluation code selection (92521 vs 92523). Each error causes claim denial, requiring rework (10-20 hours/month per clinic) and delayed cash collection.
