Hallie Bulkin explains that a myofunctional certification adds skills but doesn't expand your legal scope of practice. Before billing any service, verify three things: the CPT code matches what you did, you're legally qualified to do it, and your patient's insurance recognizes your provider type for that code.
I want you to hear this clearly. A MAIO certification does not change the boundaries of your original professional license. It adds knowledge and skill within the scope you already hold. And so before you place any CPT code on a superbill, I want you to verify 3 things. Does the code accurately describe the service? Is the rendering provider or clinician, you most likely, legally qualified to provide that service? And does the patient's payer recognize that provider type for that code?
