The CPT® Code 90807 refers to a specific type of individual psychotherapy that is conducted in an office or outpatient facility setting. This procedure is designed for patients who are experiencing behavioral disturbances or mental health issues. During the session, which lasts approximately 45 to 50 minutes, the patient engages in face-to-face counseling with a qualified provider. The primary focus of this psychotherapy is to facilitate communication that aids the patient in understanding their thoughts and behaviors, ultimately guiding them towards modifying inappropriate behaviors. In addition to the therapeutic counseling, this code also encompasses medical evaluation and management services, indicating that the provider will assess the patient's overall mental health status and any related medical concerns during the same visit. This comprehensive approach ensures that both the psychological and medical aspects of the patient's condition are addressed in a single encounter, promoting a holistic treatment strategy.
