Okay do I bill each patient seperate with the CPT code 90853 to there insurance companies even though it was a group. Never billed group therapy so this is all new to me. Thanks
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
