Coding Companion for Psychotherapy
Blueprint Series | Coding Companion for Psychotherapy
Your essential reference to confidently code, document, and get paid for the psychotherapy you already deliver.
The Coding Companion for Psychotherapy was designed for psychiatric nurse practitioners and mental health professionals who blend psychotherapy with medication management—or provide standalone therapy sessions.
Too often, clinicians under-code their work, leaving revenue on the table or struggling to justify their services. This guide empowers you to confidently integrate therapy into your visits, demonstrate medical necessity, and protect your time and income.
