We have a Psychologist that just joined our group and is going to do a lot of Neuropsych testing. How do I find out which code these tests fall under and how to bill for these certain tests - How many units? How do I know whether to bill a 96101 or a 96118? Is it by the hour face to face and by the time taken to score and write a report?
Also, If someone takes a test on a Tuesday and the doctor doesn't interprete, score and write the report until Thursday, do we bill all of it together at the end of it? or split the billing in the two different days that they were done?
Thank you so much for your help on where to start with this.
Tests examples are:
Agitation Assessment Scale
Apathy Assessment Scale
Beck Depression Inventory
Beck Anxiety Inventory
Boston Naming test
Boston Diagnostic Aphasia Screening Test
Category Booklet Test
California Verbal Learning Test II
Cognitive Estimation Test
Conners Rating Scale
Functional Activities Questionnaire
Geriatric Depression Scale
Mattis Dementia Rating Scale-2
Mental State Exam
Modified Neuropsychological screening Tool
Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory -2
Neuropsychological Assessment Battery
Personality Assessment Inventory
Psychiatric Rating Scale
Repeat Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological StatusWechsler Test of Adult Reading
Thank you for your help.
