For each patient encounter, the Department/context used is: “PSY RES FEL THERAPY [61046].” Under “Charge Capture” the billing code (level of service) is entered as “99999” and the bill area should be “PSY FELLOW PSYCHOTHERAPY CLINIC BA [260144].” These completed encounters will be monitored to ensure compliance.
Fellows must log all supervision meetings with both supervisors and submit the log to the FPC Program Coordinator (Mayra Guzman) every quarter. (The log will be provided by the Coordinator at the start of each year.) If the charge encounters and logs are delinquent more than 2 weeks, the session will not count toward the FPC requirement to graduate and may need to be made up. Fellows that continue to remain out of compliance beyond two weeks may face additional disciplinary action.
