H96ey there!

Does anyone charge separately for this like a 96127? and if not charged separately can i count it towards mdm as test ordered? thanks so much!
 
We bill 96160 with Z13.31 unless there is a finding then we use the appropriate F code for the dx. We administer the screening at initial ob, 24 week and and PP visits and they are covered differently depending on the payer. We do not count for MDM because most of those visits are currently included in the global.
 
thanks! so for a pp deppresion screening without dx of depression or anxiety before their 6 week pp visit would just be the 96160 or 96127. which would be more appropriate for pp period and using the epds score? and just that screening code no e/m with it right unless they had something totally different going on as well like infection or a different chronic cond. addressed etc etc?

thanks!
