CPT 90785 (interactive complexity) may be billed only as an add-on code that accompanies an eligible primary psychiatric service, and only when its specific criteria and requirements are met. Medical records must clearly support CPT 90785 by describing specific communication challenges, challenges affecting clinical interaction, the interactive methods used, and why standard communication approaches were insufficient, and claims submitted without adequate documentation may be subject to audit or review with payment adjusted if billing requirements are not met. Nail pathogen panel claims should be supported by clear clinical indication and medical necessity, prior testing and treatment history, a valid signed provider order specifying test type, and accurate diagnosis coding, and the Presbyterian Program Integrity Department performs random claims validation audits.
