To score the SF-36, scales are standardized with a scoring algorithm or by the SF-36v2 scoring software to obtain a score ranging from 0 to 100. Higher scores indicate better health status, and a mean score of 50 has been articulated as a normative value for all scales.

Providers may bill HCPCS codes G0422 and G0423 for a maximum of six one-hour sessions of intensive cardiovascular rehabilitation per day and up to 72 one-hour sessions over an 18-week period. The combined total number of sessions billed with HCPCS codes G0422 and G0423 must not exceed 72 in an 18-week period.

Cardiac Rehabilitation Program No more than two one-hour sessions, utilizing any combination of the CPT® or HCPCS codes (93798, 93797 or G0422, G0423) will be allowed per day for up to 36 sessions over a maximum of 36 weeks (Phase IIA).

As part of the Medical Outcomes Study (MOS), a multi-year, multi-site study to explain variations in patient outcomes, RAND developed the 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) in 1992. SF-36 is a set of generic, coherent, and easily administered quality-of-life measures.

G0422. Intensive cardiac rehabilitation; with or without continuous ECG monitoring with exercise, per session. G0423. Intensive cardiac rehabilitation; with or without continuous ECG monitoring; without exercise, per session.

SF-36 is a fast, validated and easy way of assessing global QOL in patient undergoing ambulatory CR, and is positively correlated with exercise capacity and male sex, but not age and LVEF. Its use should be systematic to evaluate efficacy of a CR program on improving QOL.
