Interactive Complexity Add-On

North Carolina rates for HCPCS 90785

An add-on service reported alongside a separate psychiatric or therapy visit when communication during the appointment is meaningfully more complicated than usual, for example because an interpreter, a play-based approach for a young child, or coordination with other caregivers or agencies is needed. It reflects the extra effort involved in delivering care effectively under these circumstances rather than a separate visit on its own. It is never billed by itself.
