In addition to the common elements, hypnotherapy includes the following specific elements as per GP54: A. Performing the appropriate therapy or interaction (described below) with the patient(s) which may include the appropriate inquires (including obtaining a patient history, and a brief physical examination) carried out in order to arrive at an opinion as to the nature of the patient's condition (whether such inquiry takes place before, during or after the encounter during which the therapy or other interaction takes place); any appropriate procedure(s), related service(s), and/or follow-up care. B. Performing any procedure(s) during the same encounter as the therapy or other interaction unless the procedure(s) is(are) separately listed in the Schedule and an amount is payable for the procedure in conjunction with the therapy or interaction.
