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.

Should the code be reported once for each family member?

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.
