New CPT codes, Part 1
There will be a lot more about this topic coming in the future, but for now, three new CPT codes for 2013 are:
- 90832 Psychotherapy, 30 minutes with patient and/or family member
- 90834 Psychotherapy, 45 minutes with patient and/or family member
- 90837 Psychotherapy, 60 minutes with patient and/or family member
The code currently used for a psychiatric diagnostic interview, 90801, will be replaced by two separate codes: code 90791 will be used for a diagnostic evaluation, while 90792 will be used for a diagnostic evaluation with medical services, such as a physical examination.
