Mental Health Group Visits in a FQHC PPS

I understand that mental health group visits (90853) do not qualify for PPS reimbursement under an FQHC, but are they billable as a separate service under Medicare Part B?

This assumes the group visit is supported by the individual patient’s treatment plan, following a PPS-covered intake or assessment. We accidentally submitted one claim, and it processed under Part B - now I'm trying to determine the logic behind this.
