Newish to behavioral health coding,
I have a PMHNP-BC in my group that is taking referral/consultations from another in house medical provider. He does and initial evaluation, psychotherapy and recommendations for medications which the provider then prescribes. I am wondering would this just be the 90791 or??? he thinks its consultation, with psychotherapy. But i am a little confused as both those codes are driven by time. would he have to break up that time for each clearly in the note?
