@psychnpbestie: Replying to @Amanda Mitchell Fun thing about CPT code 90833: It lets you spend more time with your patient, combining psychotherapy (at least 16 minutes) with med management in one session. Unfun thing: Insurance doesn’t always agree it’s justified. To bill it, you need a diagnosis that supports the therapy and documentation of a specific modality used. It’s also a little bit controversial in my state (WI) , with some people who believe PMHNPs can’t use 90833 so I was always scared of clawbacks when I used to use it. And my employers didn’t want me to use it at all 🥲 #psychnp #pmhnp
It doesn’t just have to be direct skills. There’s a lot in the way of psychoeducation, rapport building, motivational interviewing, etc that is also included in this

You can definitely use it, and I can guarantee you physicians in private practices Use it all the time. Don’t read too much into it. They’re taking advantage of you.

Many folks haven't been in practice long enough to experience audits and clawbacks. Many of them are coding based on how much they're trying to earn out of the visit and NOT based on the actual DOCUMENTED services they're providing. Eventually they'll learn when one bad audit triggers a chain of audits and they end up owing tens of thousands of dollars

Sure, even if they pay, it's not much. And it's still a pain in the ass to try and collect. You need an extra staff member to manage billing, cutting into the already anemic payments.
