Psychological Testing by a Trained Technician

Pennsylvania rates for HCPCS 96102

This covers standardized psychological testing, such as personality or emotional functioning assessments, administered by a trained technician working under a psychologist's supervision rather than by the psychologist directly. The technician gives and scores the tests, and a psychologist reviews the results and prepares the interpretation. This differs from cognitive or memory-focused testing in that it typically evaluates personality, emotional, or behavioral patterns.
