Can I access the Mental Health Management fees if I have billed for the Mental Health Planning fee but have not yet been paid for it?
Adjudication of any billings for Mental Health Management fees will depend upon whether the GP is eventually paid for the Mental Health Care Planning Fee. In other words, if a GP bills for the Mental Health Planning Fee (G14043) and provides—and bills for— a follow-up Management service under G14045, G14046, G14047, G14048, or G14049 prior to receiving payment for G14043, payment for those follow-up Management billings will be made only if G14033 is subsequently paid to that GP. Until that time any follow-up services will show as “BH” on the remittance.
