When we are transferring a patient from one provider to another, I am fully aware that another evaluation can not be billed (90792) but can the provider bill for a 99203/99204/99205 depending on the amount of time spent with the patient as the patient is new to the provider even though they are not new to the practice? This is a billing question from a mental health provider. Thank You.

Per the CPT manual "A new patient is one who has not received any professional services from the physician/qualified health care professional or another physician/qualified health care professional of the exact same specialty and subspecialty who belongs to the same group practice, within the past three years."
