Preparing a Written Psychiatric Report

Vermont rates for HCPCS 90889

Covers a clinician's time spent writing up a patient's mental health status, history, treatment and progress for someone outside the treating team — for example an agency, a school, an employer's health service or an insurer. The work is done away from the patient, who does not need to be present. Reports prepared for courts or legal proceedings are handled as a different service.
