For test administration and scoring for psychological/neuropsychological testing use codes 96136, 96137, 96138 and 96139.
Psychological and Neuropsychological Testing are diagnostic procedures that must be used as an important tool in making specific diagnoses or prognoses to aid in treatment planning and to address questions regarding treatment goals, efficacy, and patient disposition. Diagnostic procedures that have no impact on a patient’s plan of care or have no effect on treatment are not medically necessary. The CPT Codes discussed in this Billing and Coding Article are used to report the services provided during testing of the cognitive function of the central nervous system. The testing of cognitive processes, visual motor responses and abstractive abilities is accomplished by the combination of several types of testing procedures.
For assessment of aphasia and cognitive performance testing use code 96105 and 96125, respectively.
There are no ICD-10 codes listed in this Article because coverage of the service is not based on diagnosis. Providers should use the appropriate ICD-10 code.
Psychological and Neuropsychological testing is medically necessary for multiple reasons. The medical record must document the reason the tests are being performed. The LCD does not define coverage for either the medical or psychiatric diagnosis that may require the services.
Psychological and neuropsychological testing services utilize diagnostic tests when mental illness or brain dysfunction is suspected, and clarification is essential for the diagnosis and treatment. This family of codes was recently revised and extensive changes went into effect on Jan. 1, 2019.

Mental Health screening is the attempt to detect mental health symptoms in a large number of apparently healthy individuals. This can be done in many different ways from paper-based instruments in the exam room, to computer based screening in the waiting room, to physician interviews during a routine exam.
Once the potential for a mental health condition has been established by either screening or the presence of a comorbid condition, testing is used to determine the presence or absence of that mental health condition. For the purpose of billing, test administration requires “medical necessity”/ must be justified by a related ICD-10 code.
Test evaluation services are designed to cover the physician/ qualified healthcare professional’s time in evaluating the results of a patient’s mental health tests and determining a plan of action.
As of July 1, 2020 certain insurances will no longer allow testing comprised solely of brief symptom inventories or screening tests (paper and pencil or computerized) to qualify as comprehensive psychological testing. When indicated, these services may be billed using CPT 96127 or CPT 96146.
For health behavior assessment or reassessment services and testing services that are performed during the same encounter on the same date of service, Modifier 59 should be used.
Documentation must support the medical necessity of the psychologist performing separate, distinct and non-overlapping test administration and scoring and/or evaluation services during the same encounter on the same date of service as the health behavior assessment or reassessment service.
The modifier serves to demonstrate that, following the completion of the health behavior assessment or re-assessment service, the psychologist then performed separate, distinct and non-overlapping test administration and scoring and/or testing evaluation services; however, choosing the appropriate modifier depends on how the assessment or reassessment service and the testing services were provided to the same patient on the same date of service.
Patients needing health behavior assessment or reassessment (CPT ® code 96156) sometimes also require psychological/neuropsychological testing and scoring (CPT codes 96136, 96138, 96146) and/or evaluation services (CPT codes 96130, 96132). These services are often provided on the same date of service by the same psychologist. Because Medicare does not ordinarily see two types of psychological services delivered to the same patient on the same date of service, a National Correct Coding Initiative (NCCI) edit is in place that prevents the services from being billed together without an appropriate modifier and corresponding documentation.
