Wiki Psychiatrist oversight of SARP program

We have a psychiatrist providing oversight for a Substance Abuse Rehabilitation Program. The SARP counselors are billing the HCPCS codes for these services (H0025, H0005, H0004, etc). There is no face to face time with the patient by the psychiatrist, only review of the counselors documentation and sign-off.

Is there any codes that can be billed for the oversight by the psychiatrist? If so, please indicate where the documentation/coding guidelines can be found for this so I can share with the provider.

Thank you in advance for your help.
