Individual psychotherapy, interactive, using play equipment, physical devices, language interpreter, or other mechanisms of non-verbal communication, in an office or outpatient facility, approximately 20 to 30 minutes face-to-face with the patient; with medical evaluation and management services

Individual psychotherapy, as described by CPT® Code 90811, refers to a therapeutic intervention conducted in an office or outpatient setting. This procedure typically lasts approximately 20 to 30 minutes and is characterized by the use of interactive techniques that may include play equipment, physical devices, and non-verbal communication methods. The primary aim of this type of psychotherapy is to facilitate communication with patients who may have difficulty expressing themselves verbally or through written means, such as young children or individuals with certain communication challenges. The inclusion of medical evaluation and management services indicates that this psychotherapy session may also involve assessing the patient's overall mental health and addressing any medical concerns that may arise during the therapy. This multifaceted approach allows for a more comprehensive understanding of the patient's needs and enhances the effectiveness of the therapeutic process.
