Hello,
Does anyone know how many times per week a provider can bill the Psy Group code 90853 to Medicare? I was under the understanding that it was up to 5 times per week.

Doesn't it depend on the authorization for the patient?

you can bill medicare once a day. if they flag it, you may have to send in a medical necessity letter. with medicare, you dont need authorizations for mental health.
