The Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts reimbursement rate for group psychotherapy (CPT 90853) is $23.56! I would love to offer group psychotherapy from my practice, as an effective and less expensive adjunct or alternative to individual therapy. But groups take about 90 minutes. You need to set up, do notes later, billing work, and collateral work. There's just no way to offer a group at this reimbursement rate. #mentalhealth #bcbsma #GroupPsychotherapy
