A family care physician in our practice has been certified to prescribe the drug "suboxone". Patients are being referred to him from other PCP's. They are only being seen in our practice for addiction medicine. I've heard from several that the addiction medicine is part of the patient's mental health benefit. Should we be using the psychotherapy codes and pharmecologic management codes? Or regular E&M? Can a PCP use the psychotherapy codes? I'm thinking they can. I'm sure hoping someone can way in on this.
