Health Service Code 08.19G

Direct contact with an individual patient for psychiatric treatment (including medical psychotherapy and medication prescription), psychiatric reassessment, patient education and/or general psychiatric counselling, per 15 minutes or major portion thereof - in office.

May be claimed:
- if the intent of the session is the therapy of one individual patient, whether or not more than one person is involved in the session.
- when a physician assessment has established (during the same or previous visit) that the patient is suffering from a psychiatric disorder.
For treatment of non-psychiatric disorders, the appropriate office visit health service code should be claimed.

Category:	V Visit
Base rate:	$49.37

The time claimed for 08.19G is ONLY the face-to-face time with the patient. Time spent on charting or other patient management services MAY NOT be claimed in the total time for the 08.19G.
When claiming for one call of psychotherapy a minimum of 8 minutes MUST be spent. If more than one call is submitted, each unit must represent 15 minutes with the balance of the minutes being 8 or more in order to submit a claim for an additional call.
When claiming for time based codes and modifiers, be sure that the total time claimed for the day doesn't' exceed the actual time spent. For example, you spent a total of 6 hours of face to face time for 08.19G, you may only submit claims for 6 hours worth of time.
When providing psychotherapy and non psychotherapy services at the same encounter, only ONE claim for a visit service may be submitted for payment. Either the psychotherapy service or the visit service (03.03A, 03.03AZ, 03.03F, 03.03FZ etc.). The claim should reflect the service where the majority of the time was spent providing services. Reminder that 08.19G and 08.19GZ only include direct face-to-face time, extended time may not be claimed for indirect services.
