Good morning everyone. I have scoured CMS.gov and as always am unable to find what I'm looking for due to the wealth of information on that sight so I have registered here in hopes of finding the answers I seek!
I am new to FQHC billing, been doing it for 6 months, and have never dealt with Behavioral Health on any level until I got to where I'm at. I am at a Virginia FQHC. I have come to the conclusion so far that Medicare does not reimburse LPC's for Behavioral Health services. I was wondering, does this change if you bill under a supervising physician, or would it still be denied due to the LPC still being the servicing provider?
As of right now we are just billing Medicare to get the denial to bill to secondary and cross our fingers that they pay for it. I felt like that was the wrong way to go about it. Any information would be GREATLY appreciated!
