Our office provides MH assessments which we normally bill as 90791 but our billing office wants to bill these out as H0031 because it is paid out at a higher rate. Another example would be using H0004 behavioral health counseling and therapy instead of the appropriate CPT code for therapy. Is it acceptable to use the HCPCS equivalent of a CPT code just because certain payers will pay more for it?
