If a physician reports the new psychological evaluation and testing codes 96132, 96133, 96136, and 96137 on a single date of service and then reports code 96133 again 6 days later to provide feedback to the patient, does this reflect the intended use of the new codes? CPT code set states Report the total time at the completion of the entire episode of evaluation (page 715). Does this mean the physician should wait and bill all the evaluation and testing services on the final date of service?
