About psychotherapy, 45 minutes

CPT 90834 is a 45-minute individual psychotherapy session (38 to 52 minutes), the standard weekly therapy appointment. It is billed by psychiatrists, psychologists, licensed counselors and clinical social workers alike; the price does not indicate which.

What the price covers

The session only. At a hospital-owned clinic a facility fee may be added. Psychiatric medication management is a separate code when done in the same visit.

Why prices vary

Hospital-owned behavioral health clinics list higher prices than private practices, largely because of facility fees. Private therapists commonly charge $100 to $250 cash per session, often with sliding scales; community mental health centers charge according to income. Telehealth sessions are often priced lower.

Questions to ask

  • What is the self-pay price for 90834, and does it include any facility fee?
  • Is there a sliding scale or package rate for weekly sessions?
  • Is telehealth offered at a lower price?
