Question
Do the health and behavior assessment
codes include neuropsychological testing?
AMA Comment
From a CPT coding perspective,
neuropsychological testing is not included
in the health and behavior assessment codes.
Any testing performed in addition to codes
96150-96155 should be additionally reported,
based on the type of testing performed.
