Psychological Testing by a Psychologist

California rates for HCPCS 96101

This covers standardized psychological testing, such as personality or emotional functioning assessments, administered directly by a psychologist or physician. The clinician gives the test face-to-face, then scores it, interprets the results, and prepares a written report. This differs from cognitive or memory-focused testing in that it typically evaluates personality, emotional, or behavioral patterns.
