Hey everyone,

Just wanted to start a quick discussion about something many of us in the billing or mental health field are dealing with—keeping up with psychotherapy CPT codes for 2024 and making sure we’re assigning the correct Place of Service (POS11) when billing for in-office sessions.

For those new to this, POS11 stands for "Office" and is the place of service code you use when the psychotherapy session happens at the provider’s office (not via telehealth or hospital setting). It might seem like a small thing, but using the wrong POS code can get your claims rejected or underpaid.

As for the psychotherapy CPT codes 2024, the main ones are still:

• 90832 (16–37 minutes)
  
  

• 90834 (38–52 minutes)
  
  

• 90837 (53+ minutes)
  
  

• 90791 for initial psychiatric diagnostic evaluation
  Make sure to double-check if any new modifiers or payer-specific changes were introduced this year—especially if you're billing for telehealth or using add-on codes for crisis or extended sessions.
  
  

Anyone else noticed changes in how insurers are treating in-office codes vs. telehealth claims this year? Let’s share tips and keep each other updated!
