For CPT code 90792, what criteria needs to be met to be considered medical services?
These services will involve Medication Management and/or ordering further psych testing or diagnostics. Typically performed by a provider who can order medical treatment within their scope of practice.
So does this mean they must have the ability to write prescriptions?
Yes. Only an MD or APN can perform 90792 in the State of Il. Each state has their own scope of practice guidelines. Some states allow psychologists to write scripts, you would need to check your own state guidelines. 90791 is used for all other providers performing the service, without Medical care.
