Does anyone know if the PHQ-9 Depression screening tool could be billed using 99420 and 96110 by the patient's PCP? Please advise.

Screening

We have been using this screening tool primarily and is reflected MDM and medication management. As such, they contribute to E/M level rather than separate procedure codes.
Use of PHQ-9, depending on results, can contribute to diagnosis codes, which may lead to comorbitity factors, again contibuting to E/M level rather than separate procedures.

Welcome any different views, but that is how we use this tool in our office?
