How is developmental screening conducted as part of the multidisciplinary evaluation for a child suspected of having a developmental delay reimbursed under the EIP?
If only a screening is performed, and further evaluation is not needed, the evaluator will be reimbursed for the screening at the established rate. An approved evaluator may bill for both a screening and an evaluation for the same child only when the screening is performed at home or off-site at a location different from the evaluator’s business site. When a screening and evaluation are performed at an approved evaluator’s site, the evaluator may only bill for the evaluation.
