Hello,
We have a doctor that is transitioning from his Private Practice to our Practice, (bringing in his clients) and wants to know if he can use a 90791 for their first session even though he is already their therapist and treatment isn't newly beginning from a clinical perspective? I know they can only use the 90791 one time per year (using the same NPI) for clients over 21, and 2 times per yr under age 21, but is this considered MEDICAL NECESSITY?
Thanks for your help!
