Coding

Expert Coders Code Your Way To Success

Coding for mental health specialties requires different types of codes, and we have behavioral health coders expert in all of these types:

ICD-10 codes

These codes report diagnoses and conditions for health care services and statistical purposes. They cover mental and behavioral disorders, diseases of the nervous system, and injuries and external causes. For example, G40.9 for epilepsy, unspecified, and S06.0X0A for concussion without loss of consciousness, initial encounter.

CPT codes

Physicians and other healthcare professionals use these codes to report medical services and procedures. They cover psychotherapy, evaluation and management, and inter-professional digital services. For example, 90834 for individual psychotherapy, 45 minutes.

HCPCS codes

These codes report supplies, equipment, and non-physician services not covered by CPT codes. They include adaptive behavior services, health behavior assessment and intervention, and psychiatric collaborative care management. For example, H0004 for behavioral health counseling and therapy, 15 minutes.

DSM-5 codes

These codes classify mental disorders based on the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition. They match with ICD-10 codes and provide more details about the diagnosis and severity. For example, F32.9 for major depressive disorder, single episode, unspecified.

HBAI codes

These codes report health behavior assessment and intervention services that help patients cope with physical health conditions. They address psychological and behavioral factors that affect the patient’s recovery, adherence, and adjustment. HBAI codes have base codes and add-on codes that describe the main service and the extra work and time. For example, 96156 for health behavior assessment, or re-assessment and intervention, individual, face-to-face; initial 15 minutes, and 96158 for each additional 15 minutes.
