Brief Answer:
all except CPT code 96101
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
Firstly, let me advise you or rather warn you against doing anything that goes against the federal law of medical ethics or create a false medical insurance claim, just to generate income for a physician's office.
All of the tests under the CPT code range 96101-96120 are indicated as active codes under the physician fee schedule database and are covered, if medically necessary.
To answer your query specifically, you can include all the codes from 96102 to 96120 as per the patient's need. You cannot club code 96101with 96103. Excepting this combination, you can include other codes between 96102 and 96120 with 96103.
Hope this information has answered your query. Let me know if you have more queries.
