Psychiatry & Behavioral Health
Time, add-ons and authorizations drive payment.
Psychotherapy codes are based on time, and when a psychiatrist provides therapy with medication management, add-on codes must be paired with the right E/M visit.
Many plans route mental health benefits to separate behavioral health administrators with their own authorization rules and session limits. We track it all.
- Time-based psychotherapy codes
- E/M with psychotherapy add-ons
- Behavioral health carve-out plans
- Authorizations and session limits

We bill the E/M visit for medication management together with the appropriate psychotherapy add-on code (90833, 90836 or 90838), based on the documented therapy time.
Do you track session limits and authorizations?
Yes. We track authorized visits and request extensions before they run out, so patients' care isn't interrupted.
Can you bill telepsychiatry?
Yes. We bill virtual sessions according to each payer's telehealth rules for place of service and modifiers.

We follow HIPAA-compliant processes and take extra care with substance use disorder records, which have additional federal confidentiality protections.
