Psychiatric care management

About G0568: Intensive psychiatric care management, initial month

Reports intensive psychiatric care-management services for the initial calendar month when furnished with the required primary procedure.

G0568 represents intensive psychiatric care management during the initial calendar month. It covers month-level management activity for a patient receiving psychiatric care, rather than a single psychotherapy session or diagnostic interview. The work is furnished by the clinician or care team responsible for managing the patient’s psychiatric care. The code identifies the initial month; G0569 distinguishes subsequent months.

Report G0568 only with its required primary procedure; it is not a standalone service. Documentation should identify the initial calendar month, the psychiatric care-management work performed, and the associated primary procedure. CMS treats this as an add-on paid within the primary procedure’s global period, so the add-on payment is tied to that primary service’s global period. The descriptor specifies a calendar month, not a number of minutes; do not select it based on a time threshold.
