About G0017: Initial crisis psychotherapy, 60 minutes
G0017 reports the initial 60-minute crisis psychotherapy service for an acute behavioral health crisis requiring urgent assessment and active intervention.
G0017 represents an intensive psychotherapy service for a patient in an acute emotional or behavioral crisis, such as severe distress with immediate safety concerns. A psychiatrist, psychologist, clinical social worker, or other qualified behavioral health clinician may assess the crisis, provide focused psychotherapy to stabilize the patient, and determine a safe disposition. This is crisis intervention, not a routine therapy session simply because the visit is lengthy.
Report G0017 for the initial 60-minute crisis service. The record should establish the acute crisis, the assessment and psychotherapeutic interventions performed, the time devoted to the service, and the disposition or safety plan. G0018 represents additional crisis psychotherapy time and may be reported with G0017 when the service extends beyond the initial unit. CMS assigns physician fee schedule work and practice-expense values to G0017; the applicable payment amount is shown separately in the fee schedule.

G0017 billing questions
How is G0017 different from routine psychotherapy?
G0017 is for intensive intervention in an acute crisis, including urgent assessment and stabilization. A lengthy planned therapy session without a crisis is not the service represented by this code.
Can G0018 be reported with G0017?
Yes. G0018 represents additional crisis psychotherapy time beyond the initial service; the documentation should support the added time and continued crisis intervention.
What documentation supports G0017?
Document the crisis presentation, assessment, psychotherapy interventions, time, and resulting disposition or safety plan. The note should show why crisis-level intervention was needed rather than routine psychotherapy.
Should G0017 be used instead of CPT 90839?
Both identify an initial crisis psychotherapy service, but G0017 is a Medicare HCPCS code and 90839 is the CPT code. Use the code required for the claim and setting; do not report both for the same service.
Does G0017 describe a regular 60-minute therapy visit?
No. The defining feature is the acute crisis and the urgent assessment and intervention it requires, not visit length alone.
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.
