CPT 96118 is for neuropsychological testing performed by the Physician with face-to-face time administering tests to the patient, interpreting these tests and preparing the report, per hour. While CPT 96119 is for the neuropsychological testing administered by the Technician face-to-face, per hour. In our clinic, our Physician bills for 96119 x the number of hours spent by the Technician administering the tests with his (physician's) interpretation and report. However, we still bill for another 96118x1 for the feedback session with the patient. The tests and interpretation are done within 2 days but only report the last day as the date of service. The last day being the "feedback' session. My question is if we can bill for 96118 together with 96119. Example: 96119 x 10, 96118 x 1

Thank you,
