Hello,

I often see couples for 80 minutes. Can I use add-on code 90833 or 90838, along with 90847 to bill for the extra time? I provide superbills to clients to submit to their insurance. 

Thank you,

Lisa Kaplan MFT

  Hi Lisa, it depends on the insurance payer and the client's benefits if they'll get reimbursed for the add-on codes, but yes, using add-on codes is generally a valid way to bill insurance payers.

  If you use the code 90833, what is the modifier?
