CPT code 90846 is defined as family psychotherapy without the patient present. CPT code 90847 is defined as family psychotherapy with the patient present.
Herein, can 90846 and 90847 be billed together?
Billing 90846 and 90847 on the same day as each other for the same patient is often not allowed, regardless if it's two separate sessions.
Secondly, how do you bill couples therapy? Put the name of your IP on your statement/invoice if you are out of network, or if using the CMS-1500 form put it in Box 2 under “Patient's Name” (the name of the primary holder of the insurance goes in Box 4). The CPT code 90847 on the claim reflects a couples or family session therapy session took place.
