About 99494: Additional collaborative care management time
Reports additional monthly time for psychiatric collaborative care management beyond the base service, with work by the care manager and psychiatric consultant.
This add-on captures additional time spent delivering psychiatric collaborative care management during a calendar month. The work typically involves a behavioral health care manager coordinating with a psychiatric consultant and the treating physician or other qualified health care professional. Activities may include patient outreach, tracking symptoms with measurement-based tools, reviewing cases with the consultant, and communicating treatment recommendations. These services commonly support patients receiving primary care for depression or another behavioral health condition.
Report 99494 only with the applicable base service: 99492 for the initial month or 99493 for a subsequent month. The record should support the additional time and the collaborative care activities performed during that month, including care-manager and psychiatric-consultant involvement. CMS treats this as an add-on code: it must be billed with a primary procedure and is paid within that procedure's global period.

99494 billing questions
Which base code can be billed with 99494?

How should the additional time be documented?
Keep a monthly record supporting the additional time and the collaborative care activities, such as care-manager work, psychiatric-consultant case review, and coordination with the treating clinician.
Can 99494 be reported by itself?
No. CMS identifies it as an add-on code that must be submitted with a primary procedure and is paid within that procedure's global period.
How does 99494 differ from 99484?
