Individual psychotherapy, insight oriented, behavior modifying and/or supportive, in an office or outpatient facility, approximately 20 to 30 minutes face-to-face with the patient; with medical evaluation and management services

The CPT® Code 90805 refers to a specific type of individual psychotherapy that is conducted in an office or outpatient facility setting. This procedure is characterized by its focus on insight-oriented, behavior-modifying, and supportive therapeutic techniques. During the session, which lasts approximately 20 to 30 minutes, the healthcare provider engages in face-to-face counseling with the patient. The primary goal of this psychotherapy is to assist the patient in understanding and altering inappropriate behaviors that may be contributing to their mental health issues. In addition to the therapeutic counseling, the provider also performs medical evaluation and management services during the same encounter, ensuring a comprehensive approach to the patient's mental health care. This dual focus on psychotherapy and medical evaluation allows for a more integrated treatment plan tailored to the patient's specific needs.
