L.C.S.W billing

How does a social worker bill Medicare? What codes are used? Thanks

re: L.C.S.W billing

If the LCSW is providing mental health services, then you choose codes from the mental health section of the CPT® manual: 90801-90899. The code chosen depends on the method of delivery, the location of the service, the facility's status with Medicare, and the time spent with the patient.

Once you determine those things, the code should be easy to choose.
