Wiki UHC Mental Health Billing

[CindyCurran]

Can someone tell what cpt codes a LMSW can bill for service done in an outpatient setting. I have billed the 90837 and UHC is telling me they cannot bill for that code. Cpt states that it can be billed by other professional. Any suggestions?

Did you use the AJ modifier for a LCSW?

Is the provider credentialed with UHC, and are you billing Optum for Behavioral Health services?
