# CPT 96133

> Medicare paid $102.78 for CPT 96133 in the office (non-facility) setting and $79.59 in a facility under the Q3 2022 Physician Fee Schedule, effective July 2022. These are the national allowed amounts before the ~2% sequestration cut and before locality (GPCI) adjustment. This price has been unchanged since Q1 2022, when it decreased 1.2%.

## What it is

Additional professional interpretation time beyond the first hour of neuropsychological evaluation work, recorded in further hour-long increments alongside the base service. Complex cases - a long battery, conflicting findings, multiple medical contributors, or a detailed report for legal or disability purposes - routinely run well past a single hour. The activity is identical to the first hour; only the amount of time differs.
