Psychiatry
About 90792: Psychiatric diagnostic evaluation with medical services
Report this service for a psychiatric diagnostic assessment that includes medical evaluation, such as assessing medication needs and developing a treatment plan.
A psychiatrist or other qualified clinician performs a psychiatric assessment that includes medical services. The work may include reviewing psychiatric and medical history, conducting a mental status examination, forming a diagnostic impression, assessing medication needs, and developing a treatment plan. It is commonly provided in an office or hospital outpatient setting for a patient who needs a diagnostic assessment, including when medication may be part of care.
Select this code when the diagnostic evaluation includes medical services, rather than an evaluation without them. Documentation should support the assessment, findings, diagnostic impression, and medical decisions, including medication-related decisions when made. CMS values the service through physician work, practice expense, and malpractice components; practice expense has separate office and facility valuations. The code represents the diagnostic evaluation, not an ongoing medication follow-up visit.

90792 billing questions
How does this differ from 90791?
Use 90792 when the psychiatric diagnostic evaluation includes medical services. Use 90791 for the evaluation without medical services; do not report both for the same assessment.
Does 90792 include medication management?
It can include assessment of medication needs and related medical decisions as part of the diagnostic evaluation. It does not by itself describe a later, ongoing medication follow-up visit.
Can 90785 be reported with 90792?
Yes, when the encounter meets the requirements for interactive complexity. 90785 is an add-on, so report it with the qualifying primary service rather than alone.
Is 90792 selected by visit duration?
No. Selection turns on whether the psychiatric diagnostic evaluation includes medical services, not on a time threshold.
Can a separate E/M service be billed for the same evaluation?
The medical assessment and decisions that are part of the 90792 evaluation are represented by this service. Do not separately report an E/M service for the same work.
Where these rates come from
