We have just recently hired a Psychologist in New Mexico, everywhere I have looked, It says he is not allowed to use any E/M. We were just looking at one 99205. The only thing he is doing right now is pyschological evaluations to include using several SBIRT assessments. I can not find a code or how to unbundle for reimbursement of time going over the assessments. The evaluations is 2 hours. 90792 shows codes are bundled.
We are medicaid heavy, not much private insurance. I found H0049 Alcohol & Drug Screening; H0050 ; G0444 for other Assessments; G0397.
In all reality I am coming up with reimbursement of no more than $180. I know it should be alot higher for Psychologist, can someone tell me which codes I can use for one DOS, and is it all only 1 unit (If I put 2 units, it says not allowed) along with do I need a modifier? and how do I unbundle for correct compensation for the screenings. Thank you so much in advance
