PMRNC:
There really is no option.. 90853 is not going to get paid by units and only reimbursed by CPT which most carriers base on 60 min.  I have my providers shorten their sessions. You can try adding a modifier but I don't think it will fly. You could also try to obtain authorization for a 90 min session PER patient. I've done that but again, they won't reimburse over the maximum for the CPT code 90853
