Wiki Psychiatric evaluation over more than one session

I have just begun billing for a FQHC BH clinic. The clinicians have told me that "often times" they are unable to complete Psychiatric Diagnostic Evaluation (90791) in one session, so it is split over two sessions (on separate dates.) Can we bill for the total time spent in the two sessions, when the evaluation is completed? Or, can we only bill for the initial session? I know there are some types of evaluations that are allowed to be billed for multiple sessions and just cannot find anything about this particular case. Thank you, in advance, for any help or advice.
