The CPT code for family counseling (marriage counseling falls under this) is 90847.
There is no new code. These two codes are still valid codes.
Code 90847 stands for family therapy.Please also note that this is a PROCEDURE code; NOT a diagnosis code.
90847, billed as family therapy only you would use the partner relational problem (V61.10) as your primary diagnosis. It won't get covered by insurance anywhere, so make sure it is TRUE marriage counseling and that the provider isn't actually doing family therapy for the patient's mental diagnosis.
90846 = Family psychotherapy (without the patient present)90847 = Family psychotherapy (conjoint psychotherapy/withthe patient present)90849 = Multiple-family group psychotherapy
