What 96113 covers

A physician or other qualified health care professional uses this service for additional time administering and evaluating standardized developmental tests. Testing may assess a child’s language, motor, cognitive, social, memory, or adaptive functioning when developmental delay or another developmental concern prompts a formal evaluation. It can occur in an office, clinic, or other setting where the clinician performs the assessment with the patient and, when relevant, family members.

Report 96113 only with 96112, the primary developmental-testing service, for qualifying time beyond its initial hour. The record should identify the testing performed, the functions assessed, total service time, and the scoring, interpretation, and report supporting the additional work. CMS classifies 96113 as an add-on code: it cannot be billed alone, and payment is within the primary service’s global-period context.

This summary was written with AI assistance from CMS physician fee schedule data and checked against the CMS billing rules shown here. Rates on this page come directly from CMS files.

96113 billing questions

How does 96113 differ from 96112?

96112 represents the initial hour of developmental testing. Use 96113 for each additional 30 minutes of qualifying testing time, paired with 96112.

Can 96113 be billed without 96112?

No. It is an add-on code and must be reported with 96112, the primary developmental-testing service.

Is 96113 appropriate for a brief developmental screen?

No. A brief screen with a score is represented by 96110; 96113 is for additional time in a formal developmental test service.

What documentation supports an additional unit?

Document the test activities, developmental functions assessed, total qualifying time, and the resulting scoring, interpretation, and report. The record should support each additional 30-minute unit billed.

Does a modifier allow 96113 to stand alone?

No. A modifier does not replace the required 96112 primary code pairing.

Where these rates come from

FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indexes and the conversion factor. Services without a published rate are labeled, never given a made-up amount. Amounts are Medicare allowed amounts before claim adjustments: not a patient’s bill or a commercial rate.
