CPT codes 90846 and 90847 are not specifically time-limited; rather, they are used to describe family psychotherapy without (90846) or with (90847) the patient present. While the duration of the session can vary, the focus is on the therapeutic process rather than a strict time constraint. Typically, these sessions are conducted in standard durations similar to other psychotherapy sessions, often lasting 45-60 minutes. However, documentation should reflect the time spent and the nature of the therapeutic interaction.
