Psychiatric billing involves reporting services related to mental health diagnosis, evaluation, treatment, and medication management. This includes outpatient psychiatric visits, inpatient psychiatric hospitalizations, and partial hospitalization programs.
Accurate documentation is critical, especially for time-based services and medication management encounters.
Psychiatry billing covers diagnostic evaluations, psychotherapy sessions, medication management visits, and combined E&M with psychotherapy services. Medicare and most commercial payers have separate benefit structures for mental health services. The 2013 CPT code changes significantly restructured psychiatry billing with time-based psychotherapy codes and the introduction of add-on codes for combining psychotherapy with E&M visits.

Our medical coders are proficient in all Psychiatry CPT codes, including:

We also review ICD-9 psychiatric codes for legacy audits or historical records when required.
