What are all of the codes you are billing?

I thought 90805 and 90807 included medical exam and pertinent review of medications. Why would there be a need for a med check?

I question if the counselor if even credentialed enough to bill a 90805/7 since that has a medical component. I know SW and PhD's cant bill it, so I am not sure a counselor could either

I would think you would bill the 90805/7 under the NP since the counselor is incidental to the NP
This was coded as a 90805 and passed an audit. It was done by a doctor tho, not "incident to". There was additional information in it...
Hope it helps

He has two previous psychiatric admissions history, where he has shown some severe psychotic symptoms in context of his substance abuse, including over the counter caffeine and ephedrine pills. Previously has been on Zyprexa, as per his father who came along with him. Patient has been doing fairly well, but does not want to take combination of medication. In fact, he sporadically takes pills. Patient's history thoroughly reviewed with the patient and his father.
