Hi All,

We are currently starting a new program at work, and will need to use the add on code of 90785. On billable documentation, is the parent/guardian external signature required since we are using that code?

Thanks,
Katie Marino
 
90785 is added to the counseling code so if the parent/guardian signs paperwork for overall services it would include 90785. We don't have them sign anything additional for that code specifically. Our providers do notuse it all the time. This code is used to indicate that a patient’s condition requires additional time and expertise from the mental health professional providing treatment. This additional time may be needed to address communication difficulties, complex behavioral or emotional issues, or other challenges that make treatment more complicated.
