CPT code 96146 describes administration of a single, standardized psychological or neuropsychological test delivered via an electronic platform (for example, computer-based testing) that automatically scores the test on completion; this service is a computer-administered psychological/neuropsychological testing encounter typically provided in an outpatient behavioral health or neuropsychology clinic, testing center, or similar ambulatory setting and is billed as a discrete testing service when a single instrument is completed and scored electronically.
