E/M + Add-On Dual Display

Psychiatric Billing Is Uniquely Complex

Dual coding, add-on rules, prescriber detection, and a 52.8% incorrect coding rate in Medicare make psychiatry one of the hardest specialties to bill correctly.

Dual E/M + Psychotherapy Confusion

Which add-on goes with which E/M level? 90833 vs 90836 vs 90838 pairing rules are easy to get wrong — and incorrect pairing triggers automatic denials.

Medication Management Undercoding

A med check that includes counseling may qualify for a higher E/M code + add-on. Most psychiatrists default to 99213 when the documentation supports 99214 or 99215.

90791 vs 90792 Selection Errors

Choosing the wrong psychiatric evaluation code costs $40-80 per intake. 90792 requires medical examination elements — if they're in your note, you should be billing for them.

Telehealth Modifier Mistakes

Modifier 95 vs place of service 10 vs 02 — telehealth rules vary by payer and change frequently. Incorrect modifiers cause delayed or denied reimbursement.

Three Steps to Accurate Psychiatric Coding

1

Paste Your Psychiatric Note

Copy your session note into CodeItRight.ai. Enter encounter time, patient type, and payer. The AI auto-detects whether you're a prescriber (MD/DO/PMHNP) or non-prescriber.

2

Review Dual-Code Extraction

AI extracts MDM elements (problems, data, risk) plus psychotherapy duration. Review the extraction — adjust if the AI missed a medication change or data point.

3

Get E/M + Add-On + HCC Results

See your E/M code, the paired psychotherapy add-on, combined reimbursement, HCC opportunities (MDD = HCC 59), and audit flags — all on one screen.

Common Questions from Psychiatrists

How does CodeItRight.ai handle dual E/M + psychotherapy coding?
When you paste a psychiatric note, our AI detects both the E/M service (99202-99215) and the psychotherapy add-on (90833, 90836, or 90838). You see both codes side by side with combined reimbursement — no more guessing which add-on pairs with which E/M level.
Does it know the difference between 90791 and 90792?
Yes. CodeItRight.ai auto-detects whether the note includes medical examination elements (vitals, physical exam, lab review). If present, it recommends 90792 (diagnostic evaluation with medical services). If absent, 90791 — and tells you the reimbursement difference.
Can it detect HCC opportunities for psychiatric diagnoses?
Yes. Major Depressive Disorder maps to HCC 59, Bipolar to HCC 59, Schizophrenia to HCC 57. Our HCC engine flags these opportunities and shows the RAF impact.
Does it handle telehealth modifiers for psychiatry?
Yes. Select telehealth as your place of service and CodeItRight.ai automatically applies modifier 95, checks for facility/non-facility rate differences, and flags payer-specific telehealth rules.
Is my patient note stored?
No. Your psychiatric note is processed in-memory by AI and immediately discarded. It is never saved to any database, never logged, and never used for training. Only anonymous coding parameters are stored.
