Reviews

<p> The book describes CPT codes, methods of coding, codes used for documentation and billing of psychiatric services particular to specific clinical settings (inpatient, outpatient, etc.), and codes used for Evaluation & Management services. Additionally, the book covers some Medicare and commercial insurance issues. The appendixes provide templates and other lists that are needed to correctly code these services. The appendixes are particularly valuable for readers who may use them as a handy reference and consult their sources when more detail or clarification is needed. Overall, this quality book is a one-stop reference for general documentation and reimbursement for most psychiatric services. -- Elaine M. Scorza, MS, APRN, BC, Doody Enterprises , July 15, 2011


<p> Since the mid-1990s, the most valuable resource for clinicians wanting to achieve insurance access to treatment for their patients has been the Procedure Coding Handbook for Psychiatrists . This Fourth Edition includes the many recent developments that we all need to know to make our documentation and claim submissions consistent with federal and state regulations. Beautifully done. -- Roger Peele, M.D., DLFAPA, Chief Psychiatrist, Department of Health and Human Service, Montgomery County, Maryland.
