Reading this behavioral health bundle

This starting list separates psychiatric diagnostic services from individual psychotherapy. It is not a complete behavioral-health schedule and does not combine psychotherapy with evaluation-and-management add-on services. The physician fee-schedule amounts shown do not determine a particular practitioner’s eligibility or final payment.

Where these rates come from

FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indexes and the conversion factor. Services without a published rate are labeled, never given a made-up amount. Amounts are Medicare allowed amounts before claim adjustments: not a patient’s bill or a commercial rate.
