What 90847 covers

This service is conjoint psychotherapy: the patient participates with one or more family members, such as a spouse, parent, or caregiver. The clinician works with the family on interaction patterns, communication, or other relationship issues relevant to the patient’s mental health treatment. Psychiatrists, psychologists, clinical social workers, and other qualified behavioral health clinicians may provide it in office or facility settings. A typical situation is a session with a patient and parent focused on family responses affecting the patient’s symptoms or treatment progress.

Report 90847 when the patient is present and the session is family psychotherapy, rather than individual therapy with a relative merely providing collateral information. The record should identify participants, document the therapeutic focus and interventions, connect the work to the patient’s treatment, and support the session duration. Choose 90846 when the patient is absent; choose group codes when treatment is delivered to multiple families or a psychotherapy group. The service is reported for the family psychotherapy session, not separately for each participant.

This summary was written with AI assistance from CMS physician fee schedule data and checked against the CMS billing rules shown here. Rates on this page come directly from CMS files.

90847 billing questions

Must the patient be present for 90847?

Yes. The patient participates in the family psychotherapy session. When the family meets with the clinician without the patient, consider 90846 instead.

How does 90847 differ from 90846?

90847 is for family psychotherapy with the patient present; 90846 is for family psychotherapy without the patient.

Should the code be reported once for each family member?

No. Report one service for the family psychotherapy session, rather than separate units for each participant.

What should the note support?

Document who attended, the family-focused therapeutic work, its relationship to the patient’s treatment, and the session duration.

When is 90849 a better fit?

Use 90849 when psychotherapy is conducted with multiple families together. 90847 describes a session with the patient and the patient’s family.

Where these rates come from

FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indexes and the conversion factor. Services without a published rate are labeled, never given a made-up amount. Amounts are Medicare allowed amounts before claim adjustments: not a patient’s bill or a commercial rate.
