ASD, developmental testing and preventive, prolonged services
What is the correct way to code the services provided when determining ASD? Do all payers recognize these services?

ASD= autism spectrum disorders
96116 would be the code; payment probably depends on the insurer. I could see this payment being denied if submitted by a pediatrician but paid if submitted by a psychologist or psychiatrist, but that's my internist view of the situation.
