ICD codes are the World Health Organization (WHO)’s International Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems and they are used together with CPT codes to bill insurances. DSM 5 codes are the codes outlined in The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (Fifth Edition). This manual is a taxonomic ...
The relationship between an ICD code and a CPT code is that the diagnosis supports the medical necessity of the treatment. HIPAA, starting in 2003, made it mandatory to have an ICD code for any electronic transaction used for billing, reimbursement, or reporting purposes. So to bill insurance, you need to have a CPT code which explains ...
There are over 8,000 CPT codes out there, however, the good news is only 24 of these codes are designated for psychotherapy. The even better news is that you, as a therapist, will likely only use about 8 of these regularly. The most common CPT codes used by therapists are: 90791 – Psychiatric Diagnostic Evaluation.
Two of the most common mistakes when it comes to CPT codes and medical billing is undercoding and upcoding: Undercoding: This is when you use a CPT code that represents a lower-priced treatment or a less severe diagnosis. While this can be done by mistake, undercoding is often intentional.
CPT stands for Current Procedural Terminology. This is a standardized set of codes published and maintained by the American Medical Association (AMA). The CPT codes for psychiatry, psychology, and behavioral health underwent a revision in 2013 and aren’t scheduled for another revision anytime soon. To put things into perspective, the last time ...
CPT codes and add on codes are used to convey the exact service you provided to your client and from there they eventually determine how much you are paid. Using the wrong CPT code can be detrimental for your pay cycle in specific and for the health of your practice in general.

Upcoding: This is when you use a CPT code that represents a higher-priced treatment or a more severe diagnosis. Sometimes this can be done to receive higher reimbursement.
All health care providers in all health care settings are mandated to implement ICD-10-CM for coding all health care encounters and transactions. It is the providers of health care services who ultimately are responsible for medical record documentation and diagnosis coding. The neuropsychologist’s knowledge base, therefore, should include a basic understanding of the structure of the ICD-10-CM, the conventions and rules for diagnosis coding, and the rules for what constitutes accurate coding.
First, the practitioner determines the diagnosis by using diagnostic criteria. Second, the practitioner locates the condition in the alphabetic index by looking for the main term, reviewing the sub-terms, and reading the instructional notes. Third, the practitioner consults with the Tabular List to verify the code, identify the highest level of specificity, review the instructional notes, and review the chapter-specific and category-specific coding guidelines . If a definitive diagnosis has not been established or confirmed by the examination, then the practitioner codes for the sign (s) and/or symptom (s) that led to (and justify the medical necessity of) the examination or were revealed by the examination.
The International Classification of Diseases (ICD) is a system of diagnostic codes for classifying morbidity due to diseases, external causes of injury, signs and symptoms, and abnormal findings. Its full official name is the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems. It is published by the World Health Organization (WHO) and is used worldwide for morbidity and mortality statistics. The ICD is revised periodically and is currently in its 10th revision, the ICD-10 ( World Health Organization ).
The ICD is revised periodically and is currently in its 10th revision, the ICD-10 ( World Health Organization ). The ICD-10-Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM) is a WHO-authorized adaptation of ICD-10 for use in the United States, authored and published by the American Medical Association (AMA).
For encounters/visits in which patients receive diagnostic services only, the rule is to first sequence the diagnosis, condition, problem, or other reason chiefly responsible for the service.
The ultimate responsibility for both medical record documentation and diagnosis coding lies with the provider.
The ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines for Coding and Reporting describe the conventions and rules for coding using the ICD-10-CM, and complement the coding instructions provided within the ICD-10-CM itself. This is the official set of guidelines and the only one approved by the four organizations comprising the Cooperating Parties for the ICD-10-CM (the American Hospital Association [AHA], the American Health Information Management Association [AHIMA], Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services [CMS], and the National Center for Health Statistics [NCHS]). The Guidelines trump all other sources of information regarding coding, other than the instructional notes provided within the ICD-10-CM itself. Adherence to the guidelines when assigning ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes is required under HIPAA. Accurate ICD-10-CM coding, therefore, requires familiarity with both the ICD-10-CM itself and the Guidelines. Diagnosis coding information and recommendations that come from other sources, including professional organizations, therefore should be used with caution and checked against the ICD-10-CM instructional notes and the Official Guidelines.
If the encounter is to pass a psychological exam for bariatric surgery, then the Dr is treating the obesity as the patient has no other reason to present themselves. If there is a disqualifying dx, then that dx should be used for the encounter.
90791 was also a consideration - but that service is to diagnose, that isn't the case with the bariatric surgery clearances - the provider is not diagnosing, they are determining the patients mental capacity to give informed consent and 90791 just doesn't seem appropriate.
