Hello! My practice is going to begin billing for psychiatry, and I have a few questions to start out. We have done some initial research, reached out to our contracted payers, etc., but I was curious if this could be answered easily. Are there any benefits/disadvantages to hiring a counselor vs. a therapist (or vice versa.) Would both physicians be able to bill the same codes? Would both be able to an E/M with psychotherapy if warranted? (We did confirm that our insurances will contract/credential both therapists and counselors.) Any input you can give is extremely appreciated! Thank you!
