Good afternoon.
I am curious to CPT codes 96202 & 96203. These codes are for Caregiver Behavior Management Training. I am working to help develop a Social-Emotional Health Metric. With the ages of patients on this metric which is ages 0-6 would this code even be used? Currently it isn't and I believe in the work we do. I believe our state covers this code but its not being utilized.
It states on the AAPC Website that
96202:
The provider trains multiple sets of parents, guardians, and caregivers without patients present. The provider covers areas such as how to create an environment that supports desired behaviors and adherence to the patient’s plan of care while reducing the negative impacts of the patient’s diagnosis on their daily life. A physician or other qualified healthcare provider administers the training, which is face–to–face. This code represents the first 60 minutes.
96203:
The provider trains multiple sets of parents, guardians, and caregivers without patients present. The provider covers areas such as how to create an environment that supports desired behaviors and adherence to the patient’s plan of care while reducing the negative impacts of the patient’s diagnosis on their daily life. A physician or other qualified healthcare provider administers the training, which is face–to–face. This code represents each additional 15 minutes after the first 60 minutes.
In your experience does this code get used for a specific provider type? Such as a Community Health Worker, Primary Care Provider, LPC, LMFT, LCSW, psychologist, QMHP or QMHA? Or any other provider types?
Curious if anyone has any experience in this code?
Thanks!
Lori
