I code for I/P Psych patients.
After speaking with one of my docs, I found out that sometimes they spend most of their time during their daily visits counseling the patient. So if my doc goes on their daily rounds, and they spend most of the time counseling the patient, which code set do I use? Most of the time we use code set 99232. Basic physical exam is always done. But how can I tell when to use 90816 or 90817 vs 99232? Thanks for any input!
