Medical billing is no one’s favorite subject. The codes on your bill are called CPT codes, and they’re part of how doctors and insurance companies communicate.
For a psychiatric visit, it’s normal to see more than one code, since the doctor is providing more than one type of care (evaluation, management, psychotherapy, and psychoeducation) within a single visit.
These codes are monitored by a team of coders to make sure everything is accurate and your insurance company gets all the information they need.
