The psychiatry section of the Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) manual was re-written in 2013 and is updated yearly. This Member Services Forum, sponsored by AACAP’s Healthcare Access and Economics Committee, describes the most effective use of the American Medical Association's CPT manual and provides current information regarding the structural changes and codes for psychiatric procedures. Participants review the structure of CPT codes, learn the correct way to code for medical and psychotherapy services, learn the documentation requirement for the codes, discuss strategies for communicating and negotiating with third party carriers about the necessity for using specific codes with children, and utilize vignettes to understand and apply the codes to their practices.
