Hello Everyone,
Does anyone know the proper use of code 96146? Magellan guidelines say that it should not be billed when a Psychologist administers the test. It was a single test administered automatically by they computer but we are psychiatric hospital so we don't leave our clients unattended on the computer so our psychologist was there the whole time answering questions. Maybe I just answered my own question, since the psychologist was there to answer questions it would be 96130 for the first hour and then the add on code for additional time?
Thank you,
Jen
