Use and Benefits of Health and Behavior Codes in Long Term Care for Psychologists

By Joseph M. Casciani, PhD



Length: 33 page(s)

CE Credits: 1.50 credit(s)

Online Price: $39.95

Course Type: Full



Focus:
This course provides a complete introduction to the health and behavior CPT codes for psychologists. These codes, for the first time, allow psychologists to provide assessment and treatment services to Medicare beneficiaries using their medical diagnoses, instead of psychiatric diagnoses. The course provides detailed descriptions of the six new CPT codes, and much more. From an integrated care perspective, there are recommended assessment tools, explanations of what elements comprise treatment sessions, instructions on documenting medical necessity, biopsychosocial interventions, and recommended readings and resources. The closing section on reimbursement explains why H&B interventions pay at 80%, and why Medicaid crossover occurs in some states. After participating in this course, psychologists unfamiliar with these codes will have new practice development tools, new reimbursement opportunities, and a means for greater collaboration with the primary care team.
Audience: Psychologists
