Description for these code state when performed "by physician or other qualified healthcare professional." In our situation, physician talks to patient for about 5 minutes and then sends the patient to the social worker who spends another 45 minutes with them filling out forms. Would this be acceptable?
 
I am also trying to find additional information on your same question.... if a Social Worker can bill for this.
