[PC-BH-Integration] Medicaid billing codes

[Becker, Emilie A]

I am trying to initiate an integrated program in Texas for Medicaid
children, and want to know 

1) what Medicaid codes are best used by the therapist for seeing
children in primary care settings before a diagnosis is made? (if one is
ever made)

2) what Medicaid code best addresses the consultation between a
pediatrician/ primary care doctor and the child psychiatrist? (assuming
the latter has not seen the patient in question)

3) have there been any issues for the pediatrician/ primary care doctor
getting reimbursed for psychiatric codes?

4) have there been any issues with same day billing for both mental and
medical disorders? 

 

Thanks very much.  EAB
