What CPT code do you use for a 60-90 minute psychotherapy session?
Answered-
Hi Everyone - Thank you so much for sharing your experiences with billing for 90 minute sessions!
As has been said before, there's no specific CPT Code for 90 minute Psychotherapy. I looked into what the APA recommends in regards to billing for longer services, linked here: Psychotherapy Services FAQs. They recommend using the 60 minute Psychotherapy 90837 at least, but ultimately they advise clinicians to consult with the insurance payer they're billing.
In SimplePractice, you can use add-on codes, so multiple CPT codes can be used for the same appointment. You can find instructions for this here: Adding Multiple CPT Codes to an Appointment.
This SimplePractice blog post describes the Top Psychotherapy CPT Codes Billed in 2019, including add-on codes.
