I have just recently started billing for a Psychologist in an Inpatient
Child Psych Ward.
I am getting edits saying I cannot bill Group Therapy (90853) with Family Therapy (90847) on the same date of service, Group Therapy (90853) with Individual Psychotherapy (90816/90818) on the same date of service or Family Therapy (90847) with Indiviaual Psychotherapy (90816/90818) on the same date of service.
I cannot find in Medicare's guidelines where these can't be billed together.
I did find in Medicaid's guidelines that Group Therapy (90853) could be billed with Family Therapy (90847) on the same date of service if the patient is an inpatient.
Should I use a 59 Modifier?
If so on which procedure or all of them?
I would appreciate any input that anyone might have.
Thank you.
