2013 mental health codes

<< < (3/9) > >>

Angie:
So if the "psychiatrist" was using 90817, 90819 or 90822 then do they stay the same with just the new add on codes:
90817= 90833
90819= 90836
90822= 90838

Or are all the 90817, 90819 and 90822 deleted and only use the 90833, 80836 and 90838?
I'm a bit confused myself........

PMRNC:
90817= 90833
90819= 90836
90822= 90838

Right but remember, the psychiatrist will use those above codes 90833, 90836, 90838.(These are INPATIENT psychotherapy codes). WITH Appropriate E/M code 

Angie:
It is for an inpatient Residential Treatment Center. So those are not add one codes; those are the codes he would begin using 2013? Correct?

If they are providing psychotherapy with their med management inpatient codes YES would be added on to the E/M a/o 1/1/2013

Angie:
Where would you put the added codes on the CMS 1500 form?
Our Doc likes to use those; even though it is facility; it is only for professional charges provided by the psychiatrist; separate charge from daily rate.
