About 90845: Individual psychoanalytic treatment
Report psychoanalysis for individual analytic treatment focused on unconscious processes and recurring patterns, rather than conventional time-based psychotherapy.
Psychoanalysis is an individual treatment that explores unconscious conflicts, recurring relationship patterns, and the meaning of thoughts and feelings. The clinician may use free association and examine patterns such as transference as they emerge in treatment. Psychiatrists and psychologists commonly provide this service in outpatient settings; other enrolled mental health clinicians may provide it when permitted by their scope of practice.
Select 90845 when the documented service is psychoanalytic treatment, not simply because an individual mental health session occurred. The code has no duration qualifier, unlike individual psychotherapy codes that distinguish services by time. The record should support the analytic approach and the clinical work performed during the encounter. CMS values the service under the Physician Fee Schedule using work, practice-expense, and malpractice components, with practice-expense values varying by setting.

90845 billing questions
How is 90845 different from an individual psychotherapy code?
Use 90845 for psychoanalytic treatment focused on analytic exploration, not ordinary individual psychotherapy selected by session time. Codes such as 90834 describe individual psychotherapy at a specified time level.
Does 90845 have a minimum session time?
The code does not specify a session duration. Document the psychoanalytic service and the work performed rather than selecting this code based on elapsed time alone.
Can 90845 be used for a session with family members?
90845 represents individual psychoanalysis. Family psychotherapy without the patient or with the patient is represented by codes such as 90846 or 90847, respectively.
What documentation supports reporting 90845?
Document the patient's clinical need and the analytic treatment provided, including the themes or processes addressed and the clinician's interventions. A note that records only a counseling visit or session length does not establish psychoanalysis.
Should a modifier be added because the service is psychoanalysis?
The service description alone does not establish a need for a modifier. Apply a modifier only when the claim circumstances and applicable billing instructions support it.
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.
