CMS Pub. 100-04, ch. 12, § 170.1
Payment
All covered therapeutic services furnished by qualified CPs are subject to the outpatient
mental health treatment limitation (the limitation). Generally, the limitation does not
apply to diagnostic services. Refer to §210 below for a discussion of the outpatient
mental health treatment limitation.
Payment for the services of CPs is made on the basis of a fee schedule or the actual
charge, whichever is less, and only on the basis of assignment.
CPs are identified by specialty code 68 and provider type 27.

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
