I am brand new to billing psych and I am having a difficult time knowing when to bill 90792 vs 99231-99233. All encounters that I am coding are for inpatient hospital encounters. Per the CPT book, "90792 may be reported once per day" however an article on CPT changes for 2013 published by the APA defines 90792 as an "initial evaluation". Can someone further explain to me the differences between 90792 and 99231-99233 and give some guidelines for determining the appropriate code to bill? Thank you!
