Hi,
I think I know this answer but would like a second opinion. Can a master level alcohol and drug counselor bill a diagnosis code that is not related to substance. I have a provider billing a 60 minute session and the diagnosis code he is billing is for anxiety and he is not using a substance related diagnosis at all. He is not dual licensed and only has the MLADC not MH license.
 
I would say no. Most private insurances would require a LMHC or LCSW license to bill for individual counseling so I wouldn't even bill for the session in my facilities as a separate service.
