What 99493 covers
A behavioral health care manager coordinates ongoing treatment for a patient with a behavioral health condition, commonly depression or anxiety, in a primary care setting. The work may include patient outreach, tracking symptoms with validated measures, updating the care plan, and coordinating with the treating clinician. A psychiatric consultant reviews the caseload and advises the treating clinician; the consultant does not necessarily meet with the patient.
Report 99493 for the qualifying collaborative care management service in a subsequent calendar month, after the initial month represented by 99492. Documentation should show the care plan, ongoing monitoring and coordination, team consultation, and the care manager’s qualifying work and time for that month. The code represents a structured, team-based service rather than a psychotherapy visit. When the service extends beyond the time represented by 99493, 99494 may be relevant for additional qualifying time.

99493 billing questions
When should the practice use 99493 instead of 99492?
Use 99493 for a subsequent calendar month of psychiatric collaborative care management. The initial month is represented by 99492.
Does a psychiatrist have to see the patient?
No. The psychiatric consultant may review the caseload and provide recommendations to the treating clinician without a direct patient visit.
What documentation supports 99493?
Document the behavioral health care plan, symptom monitoring, outreach or coordination, team consultation, and qualifying care management work and time during the month.
Can 99494 be reported with 99493?
99494 may be reported for additional qualifying psychiatric collaborative care management time beyond the time represented by 99493. The record should support the additional work and time.
Is 99493 a psychotherapy session?
No. It represents ongoing team-based care management, such as measurement-based follow-up and coordination, rather than a standalone psychotherapy service.
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.
