I would appreciate if anyone can give me a CPT to bill for "Sign language or oral interpretive services given". I have a temp code as T1013 which cannot be billed. Need help. Chris.    Report

You may not bill the patient separately for that service. There are some codes that cover that situation, in that when an interpreter is present ...the visit time/service time is usually longer. i.e. 90802.    Report
