Hi Everyone,
I am in Illinois billing/coding for a BH practice. I have a therapist that is using these two codes together but we had to explain that it isn’t a compatible add-on code. I explained that the only add-on that want can be use is the interactive complexity code but it’s only for increased complex, not time. The therapist misunderstood and is thinking it is for prolonged time. Is there another add on code that is compatible with 90792 that explains he went over 60 mins? I have searched online and saw something that says that is the minimum for the 90792 code is 60 mins & can exceeds up to 120 mins. I just need come clarification on this cause I keep seeing multiple of answers that are different and want to make sure I bill the therapist correctly!
