Hi! Can someone please help me? What codes can be used for psychiatric consults for the bariatric patient...
 
These medical consults request clinical evaluation to identify any mental disorders which
may contraindicate or complicate a patient's participation in a surgical intervention such as Gastric Bypass. The evaluation includes a diagnostic interview, a comprehensive medical record review, and may include psychological testing.
CPT 90801 with CPT 96101-59 psychological testing as appropriate
