What are CPT codes and why are multiple codes on my statement?

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.
