Good Evening,
I'm hoping someone can help me out. I have a psychologist who is performing a psych evaluation for a bariatric patient. The patients' primary insurance is Medicare. I have been searching the Medicare website for some time now trying to find the billing guidelines for this procedure. The procedure code will probably be 96101 with a dx code of 278.01. Has anyone out there had experience billing this procedure/dx to Medicare? Or can anyone send me in the right on the Medicare website? I have been reading this forum for quite sometime and have learned so much-
Thank you in advance.
