Would anyone know what type of documentation is needed for the use of the review of psych records 90885? Our docs are stating that they reviewed the pts records, and our auditors are stating that they are not documenting enough. What else needs to be stated.
Also, if they are reviewing records on one day and then doing initial psychiatric evaluation on another day or the next week, can they bill for this 90885 code separately? Any information in this area would be helpful.
Thanks
Judy
 
Same question as Judy from above!
I am new in this field and trying to assisting in finding ways for our providers to be paid for their work outside of seeing the patient. There is a lot of time that goes into review other physician medical records, lab reports, radiology & EKGS...

I have looked up this code the past 2 days but not able to nail down specifics or locate anyone that says they have billed and been paid for this CPT range 90882 - 90885 to reach out to directly. Any assistance or links to further research would be greatly appreciated!
