Telephone Consult

(1/1)

Jdmontee:
Hello again,

I have posted this question before and didn't get any replies.  Can anyone tell me if the proceedure codes 99441, 99442 , 99443 or 99371, 99372 can be used for a counseling session for a licensed clinical psychologist.  I can't seem to find anyone who knows the answer. 

Thanks again,

Joanne

PMRNC:
No, these are E/M codes to be used by physicians only. They are also not covered by Medicare even though they are assigned RVU's.  You can try these:

Telephone Services–Non-Physician Healthcare Provider

Telephone assessment and management service provided by a qualified nonphysician health care professional to an established patient, parent, or guardian not originating from a related assessment and management service provided within the previous seven days nor leading to an assessment and management service or procedure within the next 24 hours or soonest available appointment;
