Revenue: understanding insurance reimbursement and CPT coding in child and adolescent psychiatry

David Berland et al. Child Adolesc Psychiatr Clin N Am. 2010 Jan.

Abstract

Since the early 1990s, Current Procedure Terminology (CPT) has been the gold standard for billing for medical services. After reviewing the historical context of CPT coding, this article presents the coding methodology, discussion of specialty codes (psychiatric and other specialty codes of potential use to child and adolescent psychiatrists), and the evaluation and management (E/M) codes. Various coding options for common clinical encounters are also presented.
