Does Crisis Intervention require a PA?
Crisis intervention is a nonscheduled face-to-face contact to resolve a situation of immediate crisis. The situation must be of significant severity to pose a threat to the patient’s well being or is a danger to himself/herself or others. Crisis intervention does not require PA and may be billed by an enrolled provider. A maximum of 6 hours of crisis intervention is allowed per provider per rolling year; additional hours will not be authorized.
