Connor's test for add evaluation

[crystalm]

We have a new family practice physician who wants to begin using what he calls a "connor's test" to evaluate children for add/adhd. We have never billed anything like this before, and in searching through CPT and HCPCS, I cannot find a code that seems to relate to this. Does anyone know if this is a billable service, and if so, how to do it? Thanks for the help!

See code 96110 developmental screening, with interpretation and report, per standardized instrument form. Report with V79.3 or problem Dx. Since half of the payers pay this separately and the other half deny it as non-covered, we devised an agreement for the parents to sign before administering the test, stating if their insurance denies it as non-covered, they would be responsible for the balance (we set at $25).
