Wiki CPT for self assessment questionnaires

[mba]

We have patients fill out self assessment questionnaires to properly diagnose them. (testosterone replacement, depression, adhd etc.) What CPT code should I use? Help!!!

CPT codes are billed for work a provider performs, not a patient.

Questionaire forms like the ones you describe are inclusive of E&M type of work that provider(s) will use to determine a treatment plan. If documented well, it could be included as the detail description necessary for time base billing for counseling, coordination of care along with the required time documentation needed.
