The most common ICD 10 codes for mental and behavioral health therapists and practitioners are: F32.9 Major depressive disorder, single episode, unspecified. F32.0 Major depressive disorder, single episode, mild.
The current 1500 claim forms already accommodate ICD-10. As this article explains, the most recent update to the 1500 form accounted for the transition to ICD-10. The new form—well, new-ish (the update happened a couple of years ago)—allows for the inclusion of up to 12 diagnosis codes.
Mental Health Evaluation & Management (E/M) Codes 1 Add-on CPT Code +90833 – E/M code for 30 minutes of psychiatry ( used with 90832 ). 2 Add-on CPT Code +90836 – E/M code for 45 minutes of psychiatry ( used with 90834 ). 3 Add-on CPT Code +90838 – E/M code for 60 minutes of psychotherapy ( used with 90837 ).
The transition to ICD-10 will go by date of service. That means all claims with dates of service on or before September 30 must contain only ICD-9 codes, whereas all claims with dates of service on or after October 1 must contain only ICD-10. Mixing the two code sets could be a recipe for disaster in the form of claim denials.

While you can include up to 12 diagnosis codes on a single claim form, only four of those diagnosis codes can map to a specific CPT code. That’s because the current 1500 form allows space for up to four diagnosis pointers per line, and that won’t change with the transition to ICD-10.
An exam is built into the 98940 code. To get paid for the E/M codes when you also bill 98940, they have to be significantly more intensive than you get with the 98940 and modifier 25 needs to be added to the E/M code to indicate that. see more. Show more replies.
If you include multiple diagnosis codes on a single claim, you should order them according to significance. To reiterate the point I made above, with ICD-10, there will be a lot of instances in which you will submit multiple codes on a single claim.
Even though there’s a good chance you’ll list multiple codes on a single claim, keep in mind that there’s no requirement to submit multiple codes. Obviously, you’ll need at least one diagnosis code for the claim to process correctly, but if that one code provides all the information necessary to describe the patient’s condition as fully and specifically as possible, then it’s 100% acceptable to submit that code, and that code only.

However, the DSM-5 codes will have to reflect those from the ICD-10-CM because use of the ICD-10-CM became mandatory for all health professionals in ...
The 1500 Claim Form was revised to accommodate reporting needs for ICD-10 and to align with requirements in the Accredited Standards Committee X12 (ASC X12) Health Care Claim: Professional (837P) Version 5010 Technical Report Type 3. During its work, the NUCC was made aware by the health care industry of two priorities that were included in the revisions to the 1500 Claim Form. The first was the addition of an indicator in Item Number 21 to identify the version of the diagnosis code set being report, i.e., ICD-9 or ICD-10. The need to identify which version of the code set is being reported will be important during the implementation period of ICD-10. The second priority was to expand the number of diagnosis codes that can be reported in Item Number 21, which was increased from 4 to 12. Additional revisions will improve the accuracy of the data reported, such as being able to identify the role of the provider reported in Item Number 17 and the specific dates reported in Item Number 14.
The revised version of the form was approved by the NUCC in February 2012. Following the NUCC’s approval, the form was submitted to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid (CMS) for their approval process with the Office of Management and Budget (OMB).
The form was approved by OMB on June 11, 2013. 4.
If the payer does not have the provider’s address on file, they would want to contact them before sending a payment to an address submitted on the form. Therefore, the NUCC determined that it was unnecessary to accommodate “Pay-to Address” on the form.
CPT coding for psychotherapy doesn’t have to be difficult! There are an overwhelming amount of total CPT Codes (~8,000), however only 24 are specifically designated for psychotherapy and other mental health services.
Downcoding (including less services on the claim than actually provided) will usually mean you get paid less, while upcoding (including more services on the claim than actually provided) can get you in trouble with your managed care panels.
