New Health and Behavior Assessment CPT Codes for Use by Clinical Social Workers

A new practice update is available, New Health and Behavior Assessment CPT Codes for Use by Clinical Social Workers. The use of the health and behavior assessment codes prevents inappropriate labeling of a patient as having a mental health disorder when the problem may be related to a physical illness. The American Medical Association's copyright prohibits the electronic transfer of CPT codes. This update can be obtained by contacting:
