Hi everyone! I need some advice. I've been coding for a Behavioral office for 5 years. During that time we only employed Psychiatrists and Psychiatric Nurse Practitioners. In the last few months, we've hired LCSWs and LPCCs. If a patient sees either the LCSW or LPCC first and later sees a Psychiatrist, is the patient considered new for the Psychiatrist? All are employed by the same clinic and billed under the same tax ID number. Thanks!
