Psychotherapy
About 90880: Individual hypnotherapy session
Hypnotherapy uses therapeutic hypnosis to address a patient's clinical concern and is reported when hypnotic intervention, rather than standard verbal psychotherapy, is delivered.
In hypnotherapy, a clinician uses focused attention, guided imagery, and therapeutic suggestion as the treatment method for a clinical concern. It may be used in behavioral health care and in treatment involving concerns such as anxiety, pain, or habits. The service is typically furnished in an office by a qualified clinician working with the patient individually; the defining feature is the hypnotic intervention, not simply relaxation or supportive conversation.
Select 90880 based on the treatment actually provided, rather than the length of a visit or the diagnosis alone. Documentation should identify the clinical target, the hypnotic techniques used, the patient's participation or response, and the plan for continued care. CMS assigns physician-work, practice-expense, and malpractice values to the service in the fee schedule. Describe hypnotherapy distinctly from psychotherapy delivered through verbal therapeutic methods or from interventions that incorporate biofeedback.

90880 billing questions
When should 90880 be chosen instead of an individual psychotherapy code?
Choose 90880 when therapeutic hypnosis is the intervention delivered. Use an individual psychotherapy code when the service is psychotherapy through other therapeutic methods, selected according to its applicable criteria.
Is 90880 selected by session length?
The service is distinguished by hypnotherapy, not a time level. Document the hypnosis intervention rather than using visit length alone to support code selection.
What should the note include?
Document the clinical concern addressed, the hypnotic techniques used, the patient's response, and the treatment plan.
How does 90880 differ from psychophysiological therapy?
90880 represents treatment using hypnosis. Psychophysiological therapy codes describe a different service involving psychotherapy with biofeedback training.
