An initial (psychological) assessment is billable if it leads to the creation of an IEP for a student with disabilities who is eligible for Medicaid and who is under 21 years of age, whether or not the IEP includes SHARS. So, if an initial assessment does not lead to the creation of an IEP, that assessment is not billable under SHARS.
