About 90832: Individual psychotherapy with patient, 30 minutes
Report a 30-minute individual psychotherapy session with the patient when the same clinician does not also perform a separately reported E/M service.
This service involves individual psychotherapy for a mental health condition, using approaches such as cognitive behavioral, supportive, or insight-oriented therapy. The patient participates, and a family member or caregiver may join part of the session when the treatment remains focused on the patient. Psychologists, clinical social workers, mental health counselors, marriage and family therapists, psychiatric nurse practitioners, and psychiatrists provide this care in offices, outpatient clinics, inpatient settings, and through appropriate telehealth encounters.
Select 90832 based on 16 through 37 minutes of psychotherapy with the patient. At 38 minutes, consider 90834; at 53 minutes, consider 90837. Document psychotherapy time separately from any other service, along with the therapeutic approach, clinical focus, patient response, and progress toward treatment goals. If the same clinician also performs a separately identifiable E/M service during the encounter, report the appropriate E/M code with psychotherapy add-on 90833 instead of 90832. Interactive complexity add-on 90785 may accompany 90832 when its specific communication criteria are met and documented.

90832 billing questions
How many minutes are required to report this code instead of 90834?
Use 90832 for 16 through 37 minutes of psychotherapy. At 38 minutes, use 90834; at 53 minutes, use 90837.
Can a psychiatrist report this code with an office E/M visit?
When the same clinician performs a separately identifiable E/M service and psychotherapy during the encounter, report the E/M code with add-on 90833 instead of 90832. Count psychotherapy time separately from E/M time.
Can 90785 be added to this code?
Yes, when documented communication factors meet the interactive complexity criteria. Examples include caregiver behavior that interferes with treatment or using play equipment to communicate with a patient who has not developed expressive language.
How does this code differ from crisis psychotherapy?
Use 90839 instead when the encounter meets the requirements for urgent crisis assessment and intervention and the required crisis psychotherapy time is met. Add 90840 only when additional crisis psychotherapy time supports it.
Does a family member being in the room change the code?
No, if the patient participates and the psychotherapy remains focused on the patient's individual treatment. Consider 90846 or 90847 when the service is family psychotherapy, selecting between them based on the patient's participation.
What documentation supports this code?
Record the 16 through 37 minutes of psychotherapy, the therapeutic approach, clinical focus, patient response, and relationship to treatment goals. Keep any E/M time separate.
Where these rates come from
FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense, and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indices and the applicable conversion factor. Unavailable or separately priced services are labeled rather than assigned a made-up amount.
