I work for a behavioral health agency that is 84 & 95 Medicaid certification. For our services a biopsychosocial assessment 90791. As an initial assessment they are doing a SUD assessment H0001. What are the thought of billing for both within 30-60 days?

Because 90791 is a Psychiatric diagnostic evaluation and H0001 is for alcohol and drug assess, this should be ok to bill. I would be more hesitant to bill if you were billing for H0031 (mental health) since those two would be redundant. In this case, you are evaluating and assessing two different things, so you should have no issues. Just make sure you include any supporting documents and make sure the DOS are accurate.
