Just so I am clear:If my psychiatrist does both on the same day he is going to have to break it out and have one charge for the therapy portion and one charge for med mang. Correct? They will have to be two separate services pretty much; two line items on the claim; even if most of it is therapy and maybe 10 minutes is med mang.It will not be covered because most insurance companies only cover 1 session per day!
Just curious does anyone know if you bill a 99213, 99214 or 99215 by themselves, are they considered the old Med management codes as in they are not usually counted against a patients therapy visit limit?
Or are they considered a therapy visit used with the add-on codes? If billing a 99 code w/an add on code does that make it a therapy visit and it goes against a patient's therapy visit limit?
Also the 90837 replaces the 90808, did the 90808 require a special authorization from insurances & if yes, will the 90837 now require a special authorization too?
