Hi all,
I have a question related to this topic. Has anyone used S9484 for Mental Health billing? I have a MH provider I am billing for and she held an emergency telephone session for 60 minutes. This is the first time using this code so a bit curious.
Pay_My_Claims:
she is billing that from a telephone call???
melissa_2004:
Yes. It was a 60 minute crisis intervention.

humm, I don't think it can be used for telemedicine services..... it is crisis intervention but it is a code used for facility based crisis and we have a 16hr max on it. i am no coder, but i don't think this bird will fly. was the patient in a facility and the MD called in....even so I think this code just can't be used as a telemedicine code.....
