    Conjoint Therapy Coding That
    Matches Coverage Rules

    We support correct selection and documentation positioning so sessions process as covered behavioral health care:

    90846 vs 90847 based on patient presence

    Single patient record and diagnosis alignment

    Documentation that supports medical necessity and covered intent

    Handling Multiple Participants in
    One Session

    Family sessions may include multiple people, but payers process one claim tied to one patient. We help maintain consistency for:

    Primary patient designation

    Consent and documentation alignment

    Coverage conflicts when participants carry different plans

    Telehealth reimbursement depends on payer and state rules. We ensure clean billing for:

      Reposition the service as covered behavioral health psychotherapy by using correct CPT codes (90846/90847/90834) and documenting diagnosis, impairment, and treatment goals tied to a clinical condition.

      Verify benefits before scheduling and flag authorization triggers for family therapy sessions to secure approvals before the claim is submitted.

      Align ICD-10 diagnosis selection with psychotherapy CPT codes so the claim reflects a medically necessary behavioral health intervention.

      Strengthen documentation with assessment findings, functional impairment, treatment goals, and progress notes that justify the service billed.

      Apply correct POS codes (02 or 10), payer-specific telehealth modifiers, and documentation of modality and participant presence.

      Identify third-party behavioral health administrators during eligibility verification to route claims to the correct payer.
