Psychological Testing By Technician, First Time Block

Massachusetts rates for HCPCS 96138

A trained technician, working under the supervision of the psychologist or physician who ordered the assessment, both administers two or more standardized psychological or cognitive tests and scores them. The supervising clinician then interprets what the scores mean and discusses them with the patient. This covers the first block of technician testing time; further time is charged separately.
