Hi guys! I work for a Psychologist and we are trying to maximize our profits. Currently, we bill 90791 for the first appointment and then 90837 for every other appointment thereafter. If the patient stays an hour and a half, I will add 99354 to the 90837. We are taking BCBS, Aetna, and Cigna right now but the allowed amount that Cigna allows for 90837 is only $85, BCBS allows $110.81 and Aetna allows $97.34. Are there any other CPT codes that anyone would recommend for an hour of therapy that perhaps pays better than 90791 and 90837?
To the people that bill other insurance companies, besides BCBS of TX, Cigna, and Aetna, what insurance company do you send claims into and what is the allowed amount for 90837?
