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.
