Thank you for the response, I appreciate it.
We are in NJ, and he is a psychiatrist and happens to have a large patient base that does not utilize the mental health care management plans, especially for the patients who fall under the MHPA. Since their diagnosis is treated as any other illness, for the most part there are not limitations.
As I stated earlier, the family practice and urgent care that I do, we are reimbursed for the add on coding, as much as $50 for the 99050, but the general reimbursement is $30 in addition to the e/m.
Thanks again.
Carol
