Add‐On Codes (+)<br />
Add‐On (+) codes describe additional services provided<br />
within a service. They are added to select, primary codes<br />
and demonstrate an enhanced service.<br />
• Added time increments (crisis therapy)<br />
• Added service (interactive complexity or<br />
psychotherapy)<br />
• Add‐on (+) codes are never used as stand alone codes<br />
• Add‐on codes are designated by a + sign<br />
Note: In addition to Medicare, other Private Insurance Carriers may<br />
use these codes. Therefore, ALL clinicians need to code according to<br />
the service they are providing, not to the insurance of the client.
