8 Psychological Testing Frequently Asked Questions for Providers Q: Do I collect a co-payment for psychological testing? A: Psychological testing is considered diagnostic medical testing. Diagnostic medical testing benefits may vary by group. Please contact the Physician and Provider Service Center at (401) or to verify benefits. Q: Does psychological testing count toward a member s annual behavioral health outpatient benefit limit? A: No, psychological testing is covered as a diagnostic test, not a behavioral health benefit.

Q: How should time spent on test interpretation and report writing be reflected in the medical record? A: Records or supporting documents created at the time of testing and report generation should document time accurately. Q: Should the feedback session be billed as a testing session? A: No, the feedback session is not considered psychological testing and

9 should not be billed that way. The feedback session may meet the CPT guidelines for psychotherapy, or for physicians, evaluation and management services.

A: Yes, you may submit claims for psychological testing and a on the same date of service. You may also submit claims for a on the same date of service as psychological testing.

A: Yes, testing performed when a member is inpatient will count toward the testing limits. Q: What is the process to request additional units of testing? A: The testing limits are a payment limit; therefore you may continue to perform additional testing. However, you will not receive additional payment for testing beyond the limits. Members may not be charged for additional hours exceeding the payment limit. Q: Does BCBSRI allow claims with CPTcodes and on the same date of service by the same provider? A: Yes Q: Does interpretation and report include time spent reviewing records or documentation from other sources? A: No, interpretation and reporting time should only reflect time spent interpreting the tests that have been administered. The review of external records is considered not separately reimbursed; therefore this time cannot be charged to the member.

10 Q: How do these limits apply to CPTcodes and (psychological and neuropsychological testing administered by a computer)? A: These limits do not apply to CPT codes and 96120; however, please be advised that the same provider may only submit these codes once per date of service.

A: Yes. Q: What does it mean that the limits are per provider or group? A: Providers within the same group practice are considered one provider for the purposes of these limits. If a BCBSRI member reaches the testing limits with one provider in a group practice, no additional payments will be made for testing rendered by another provider in the same group practice. Q: What are the claims submission guidelines when a patient completes a test administered by the computer for part of the testing session, and the remainder of the session is spent with the psychologist? A: You should always follow CPT guidelines. Presently, it would be appropriate to submit a claim for the computer test and a or 96118, provided that the actual time spent with the psychologist met the CPT guideline per hour of the psychologist s time. You cannot factor time spent on the computer test into the or for that day.

8 Psychological Testing Frequently Asked Questions for Providers Q: Do I collect a co-payment for psychological testing? A: Psychological testing is considered diagnostic medical testing. Diagnostic medical testing benefits may vary by group. Please contact the Physician and Provider Service Center at (401) or to verify benefits. Q: Does psychological testing count toward a member s annual behavioral health outpatient benefit limit? A: No, psychological testing is covered as a diagnostic test, not a behavioral health benefit. Q: Is psychological testing subject to a member s deductible? A: Since psychological testing is considered diagnostic medical testing, the allowance may be subject to the deductible. Please contact the Physician and Provider Service Center at (401) or Q: Does psychological testing require a referral for BlueCHiP products? A: No, psychological testing does not require a referral for BCBSRI participating providers. Q: Does BCBSRI have any specific credentialing requirements for technicians administering reports? A: No. We credential the reporting provider, who is therefore responsible for ensuring that the technician is qualified. Q: Is it appropriate to track the time spent providing psychological testing and then submit a claim for all the units at one time? A: No, the units cannot be bundled together and billed on the same day. You must submit a claim for psychological testing on the actual date that the service is performed, and there must be corresponding documentation in the record to support the claims submission. Q: How should time spent on test interpretation and report writing be reflected in the medical record? A: Records or supporting documents created at the time of testing and report generation should document time accurately. Q: Should the feedback session be billed as a testing session? A: No, the feedback session is not considered psychological testing and

9 should not be billed that way. The feedback session may meet the CPT guidelines for psychotherapy, or for physicians, evaluation and management services. Q: Does BCBSRI allow psychological testing and a (Psychiatric Diagnostic Interview Examination) on the same day? A: Yes, you may submit claims for psychological testing and a on the same date of service. You may also submit claims for a on the same date of service as psychological testing. Each service must independently meet all reporting/coding requirements and not overlap (e.g., the time of is not counted towards any testing services). Q: Do the limits to yearly hours apply to calendar year or benefit year? A: Calendar year. Q: Does BCBSRI distinguish between psychological and neuropsychological testing? A: Yes, BCBSRI follows CPT coding rules. Q: Do the same testing limits apply to testing performed in an inpatient as well as outpatient setting? A: Yes, testing performed when a member is inpatient will count toward the testing limits. Q: What is the process to request additional units of testing? A: The testing limits are a payment limit; therefore you may continue to perform additional testing. However, you will not receive additional payment for testing beyond the limits. Members may not be charged for additional hours exceeding the payment limit. Q: Does BCBSRI allow claims with CPTcodes and on the same date of service by the same provider? A: Yes Q: Does interpretation and report include time spent reviewing records or documentation from other sources? A: No, interpretation and reporting time should only reflect time spent interpreting the tests that have been administered. The review of external records is considered not separately reimbursed; therefore this time cannot be charged to the member.

10 Q: How do these limits apply to CPTcodes and (psychological and neuropsychological testing administered by a computer)? A: These limits do not apply to CPT codes and 96120; however, please be advised that the same provider may only submit these codes once per date of service. Q: Can I perform psychological testing and psychotherapy on the same date of service? A: No, the following therapy codes will be considered not separately reimbursed if provided on the same date of service as 96101, 96102, 96116, 96118, or 96119: 90804, 90805, 90806, 90807, 90808, 90809, 90810, 90811, 90812, 90813, 90814, 90815, 90823, 90824, 90826, Q: If I conduct an initial assessment and determine that the testing needs of the patient exceed the testing limits, can I refer the patient to another provider? A: Yes. Q: What does it mean that the limits are per provider or group? A: Providers within the same group practice are considered one provider for the purposes of these limits. If a BCBSRI member reaches the testing limits with one provider in a group practice, no additional payments will be made for testing rendered by another provider in the same group practice. Q: What are the claims submission guidelines when a patient completes a test administered by the computer for part of the testing session, and the remainder of the session is spent with the psychologist? A: You should always follow CPT guidelines. Presently, it would be appropriate to submit a claim for the computer test and a or 96118, provided that the actual time spent with the psychologist met the CPT guideline per hour of the psychologist s time. You cannot factor time spent on the computer test into the or for that day. For example, if a patient spent 15 minutes completing a computer test and then spent only 45 minutes with the psychologist, it would not be appropriate to submit a claim for or for the 15 minutes spent on computer testing. Additionally, any time spent interpreting the test should not be reported using or These two services represent interview and testing by the physician or psychologist and the time spent integrating multiple test results into a report. Q: Does psychological testing include observation of the patient in a

11 social setting? A: No, observation is not a covered service. Q: Are consultations with teachers and other third parties considered part of the psychological testing? A: No. These services are not considered psychological testing and are not separately reimbursed. Q: Does this policy apply to both adults and children? A: Yes. Q: For children, how do I determine if the testing is the responsibility of the school system or the patient s health insurance plan? A: Please refer to Rhode Island General Law, Title 16, Chapters 21, 24, 25, and 26 and applicable regulations governing the health of school children and special education of handicapped children or comparable requirements established by federal law or state law of applicable jurisdiction. Testing performed for educational purposes is not covered. Q: Can I submit a claim for a psychotherapy session when I perform psychological testing, and the payment limit has been met? No. You must follow CPT coding rules. It is incorrect to report psychological testing as psychotherapy. Q: How do these limits apply if the member has had psychological testing prior to July 1, 2008? A: The payment limit is effective July 1, Therefore testing conducted prior to that date will not count toward the payment limit for Q: Can a hospital get reimbursed if they submit one of the testing codes? A: Yes, the hospital can bill and be paid for the service only when performed outpatient by a provider that is an employee of the hospital; otherwise the provider may file and be paid. Q: Can be filed by a pediatrician? A: No is extended testing and is limited to the following specialties: Psychiatrist, or Neuro-psychologist, or Psychologist, or Pediatric neurodevelopmental specialist.
