What these numbers are
Every figure on this page is a 2026 Medicare allowed amount: the physician line comes from the Physician Fee Schedule adjusted by geographic practice-cost indices, and the facility totals come from the CMS hospital outpatient (OPPS) and ambulatory surgery centre rates. None of them is a hospital chargemaster price, your insurer's contracted rate, or a quote. Anesthesia, pathology, imaging reads and follow-up care are billed under their own codes when they apply, and an inpatient stay is paid a different way again.
National vs New Hampshire
Where New Hampshire ranks for this CPT
Physical Therapy (Therapeutic Exercise) and how New Hampshire is priced
New Hampshire is priced as one statewide locality with geographic indices above the national average, keeping company with its high-cost New England neighbors. From Nashua to the North Country, the fee schedule applies identical adjustments, even though the southern tier is economically an extension of greater Boston. CMS has never split the state, so the Massachusetts border is also a pricing border: cross it southbound and the metro Boston locality takes over. That makes New Hampshire a clear example of how locality lines, not just providers, shape what Medicare approves.
Southern New Hampshire residents routinely use Boston hospitals for complex care, accepting metro pricing in exchange for academic-center depth, while the state's own tertiary referral center sits in the west near the Vermont border. The Lakes Region and North Country rely on small rural hospitals with limited procedure menus. No state income or sales tax attracts retirees, steadily raising Medicare demand.
This procedure: Therapeutic exercise is the foundational hands-on-guidance code of physical therapy: strength, range-of-motion, and flexibility exercises prescribed and supervised by a PT to restore function after injury or surgery. It is billed in 15-minute units, so a typical session includes two to four units of this code, often mixed with other billed services. Expect active work: you exercise while the therapist coaches, corrects form, and progresses the program visit by visit.
What Is Physical Therapy (Therapeutic Exercise)?
Therapeutic exercise is the foundational hands-on-guidance code of physical therapy: strength, range-of-motion, and flexibility exercises prescribed and supervised by a PT to restore function after injury or surgery. It is billed in 15-minute units, so a typical session includes two to four units of this code, often mixed with other billed services. Expect active work: you exercise while the therapist coaches, corrects form, and progresses the program visit by visit.
What Affects the Cost
- –Billing is per 15-minute unit, so the number of units per visit, not just the number of visits, drives your bill.
- –A full rehab course after surgery commonly spans 10 to 36 visits, making the per-visit total a recurring weekly expense.
- –Hospital-owned therapy clinics attach facility fees that private PT practices do not.
- –Sessions usually combine this code with others like manual therapy (97140), stacking multiple billed lines per visit.
- –High-deductible plan members often find cash-pay PT packages cheaper than their negotiated insurance rates.
Questions to Ask Before Booking
- 1.How many units do you typically bill per session, and what will each visit cost me?
- 2.How many PT visits does my plan allow per year, and does that count all therapy types combined?
- 3.Do you need to get authorization after a certain number of visits?
- 4.What is your cash rate per visit, and is it cheaper than my insurance rate before my deductible is met?
- 5.How much of each session will be one-on-one with the therapist versus independent exercise?

Not on the physician fee schedule. New Hampshire uses one locality, so the Medicare physician rate is the same from one end of the state to the other. What still changes is site of service (office vs hospital) and any facility fee the hospital bills on its own claim.
After the Part B deductible, coinsurance is usually 20% of the allowed amount: about $6 for the office physician line or $6 for the hospital physician line in New Hampshire. Medigap may cover that 20%. This is not the hospital facility fee.
No. $29.58 is the Medicare physician allowed amount for CPT 97110. Anesthesia, facility fees, implants, and other CPT codes billed the same day are extra. New Hampshire ranks #39 of 51 states on this physician line (within 2% of the national office rate of $29.06).
