Thank you for your response! Here is what has been asked to me:
I said the following:
To bill an individual session for the LCSW attending a “results” appointment, is not billable. What would the therapist’s notes include? No therapy is rendered.
We are not set up to provide collaborative care either.
When it comes to choosing CPT codes, the service rendered must match the service provided to a T. We are not “allowed” to pick a code that is the closest definition to a service.

Hi Anna
I know it might seem that way (regarding the therapist's role) but it is definitely not the case in feedback sessions (especially when the client is referred by the therapist). I attached a de-identified copy of a sample report so you can see the structure. The feedback is very focused to clinical feedback and I usually spend the entire time discussing the results with the client and therapist and exploring how it can be used in therapy. When a therapist is included in the feedback, the session often goes much longer than one where it is just me and the client (or family).
96132 and 96133 are the codes I have included for collaboration with referral
