Specialty rate rollup

Behavioral Health

Psychological assessment, psychotherapy, and group treatment — the core non-prescribing behavioral-health service mix.

Source & method Copy link

Amounts computed from the CMS Medicare Physician Fee Schedule Q2 2014 release , GPCI 1.000, before the ~2% sequestration cut. This is our own clean-room grouping by common clinical scenario, not the AMA’s code-family taxonomy. It is a curated starter set, not a utilization-weighted specialty mix. A code with no amount is either not separately payable under the PFS or absent from the release—never a fake $0.
