PsiAN Advocates for 90837 and Against Audits

PsiAN members have been reporting burdensome audits, particularly when they bill 90837. These audits negatively affect clinicians and patients alike and seem to be lacking both in clinical rationale as well as the educational component that the audits purport to offer. As a result, clinicians report being overburdened by excessive administrative demands and not offered sufficient opportunities for education.

We have written the attached letter outlining our concerns about audits of 90837, and have sent it to the Senators of Illinois. We appreciate the support of the Illinois Psychological Association, and are very glad that they agreed to sign onto our letter. We will be sending a similar letter addressed to Secretary Becerra at CMS.
