About this procedure
A 60-minute psychotherapy session — the standard 'long' therapy appointment, used by most therapists for ongoing care.
What to expect
Hour of conversation. Some plans cover 90834 (45 min) better than 90837 — ask your therapist what they bill. Mental-health parity laws require insurers to cover therapy at the same rate as medical visits, but in practice out-of-pocket costs vary.
