Clinical Social Work Practice Alert - Evidence For Increasing Psychotherapy Fees

Mirean Coleman, MSW, LICSW, CT

Jan 01, 2009

Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) Codes for psychotherapy are being considered for review to increase the work and practice expense values associated with reimbursement rates. Work values are based on the time and the required mental effort and judgment to perform a service, and the stress encountered due to the potential risk to the patient. Practice expense values include direct expenses of a clinical practice including clinical labor activities, medical supplies, and equipment.
