And we are in Louisiana
Because med management code 90862 was deleted prescribing providers instead needed to use the E/M code. IN Your situation(s) your prescribing provider is a psychologist in one of the two states that allow them to prescribe, however they cannot bill E/M codes.. With that in mind what if you billed your psychotherapy code along with HCPCS M0064. M0064 is used by those provider's performing a quick med check, it cannot be billed with any E/M service and is meant to just be a code used when only a small portion (general rule is 15 min or less) of the visit is for medication management/prescription. Just a thought. I have psychiatrists who use this code since Medicare began cracking down on Nursing home visits for 90862.
