As the PMHNP becomes proficient in diagnosing and treating, it is also important to learn how to bill for your time. The CMS sets up codes to identify the type of service you are providing. You will generally complete this task at the end of the visit as you are documenting the visit with the client. Here are examples of the codes to know:
HMSA recognizes the following service codes for the reporting of psychiatric and psychological services. (See Code Books for information on how to obtain the books.)
