I am hoping someone can help me. We are interested in starting an IOP for behavioral services only. The plan is to have the majority of counseling provided by an LPC w/psychaitry overseeing the program and start with Medicare patients. We know that LPCs cannot bill in RHC setting so the suggestion was made to bill the services through the hospital, similar to MNT/diabetes mgmt programs. We are a CAH/Method II billing so everything is on a UB. All the reference material I have found so far states that Medicare doesn't recognize LPCs as an eligible provider so we weren't sure if these services can be billed. Can someone point me to some concrete evidence for a yea or nay please?
