A patient has an initial 15-minute health and behavior assessment with the provider. What is the correct code for this initial assessment?

96150
96151
96152
96153

Explanation

Answer: A - 96150 is the correct code for the initial health and behavior assessment.
Code 96151 is the incorrect code because this code is for re-assessment. Codes 96152 and 96153 are both incorrect codes because these involve health and behavior interventions, not initial assessments.
