Em billing for behavioral health is no different than billing EM for anything else. Follow the 1995 or 1997 EM guidelines. 1997 is more advantageous. One exception is codes can NOT be billed based on counseling/time as they can in other areas.

I have an Evaluation and Management Services Guide that expands on the "Psychaitric Exam" I tried to find it on the APA website, but had no luck. I can email it to you if you like, just send me a message at:
