I am a billing service for Metal Health providers. A new client and I am wondering how to bill manage care & medicare for specific services that take longer than the one hour on allowed on the CPT code.
The provider's specialty is Neurology - Psychiatry. For the initial intake the code as 99205 but in addition she administers test and evaluation procedures that take an addition two hours. The code for that is 96116 but only allows 1 hour. How do I bill the additional hour needed for the 96116. I I simple list the code a second time, it will probably be rejected as a duplicate.
Any help would be appreciated
