Report Writing and Report Reviews
krjohnson:
I have providers who occasionally bill for time spent writing and reviewing reports or other clinical information. Is there a CPT code to bill insurance for this? I know they usually only cover face-to-face time but some of our patients request I bill it even though it will get denied. Thanks for your help.
medauthor:
99080, but it is very payer specific...
krjohnson:
What about 90885 and 90889? Is that what I would use since we are mental health??
PMRNC:
In Mental health the 90885 is usually included in the fee for the initial eval (90801-90857) The 90889 would be considered incidental (preparation of the report) and not separately payable.
vchisam:
I bill 90899 for treatment plans prepared by mental health providers. But, I send these on paper with an explanation attached stating what is being billed.
Sometimes they are paid - sometimes they are denied. When denied, we write off.
