CPT® Code 90806 refers to a specific type of individual psychotherapy that is conducted in an office or outpatient facility setting. This procedure involves a face-to-face interaction between the patient and the provider, lasting approximately 45 to 50 minutes. The primary focus of this psychotherapy is to utilize insight-oriented techniques, behavior modification strategies, and supportive counseling to address the patient's mental health needs. Insight-oriented therapy aims to help patients gain a deeper understanding of their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, while behavior modification focuses on changing maladaptive behaviors through various therapeutic interventions. Supportive therapy provides emotional support and guidance to help patients cope with their challenges. This structured approach is particularly beneficial for individuals experiencing behavioral disturbances or mental illness, as it fosters a therapeutic environment conducive to personal growth and change.
