Code for watching video

(1/1)

barb2512:
Mental health therapist would like to bill insurance for the time client's are in her office watching a video on DBT. I am wondering if 98960- Education and training for patient self-management by a qualified, non-physician health care professional using a standardized curriculum, face to face with the patient.

It appears from the description that the therapist must be present during the viewing.

Any comments appreciated.

Thank you,
Barbara

PMRNC:
Yes, the therapist must be in the room as it's a "face-to-face" code.   I would think their liability insurance also wouldn't want them leaving a patient unattended anyway.
