THE HARD PARTS

What makes geriatric psychiatry billing hard

Care in many places

Older adults are seen in clinic, at home, in assisted living and in nursing facilities. Each visit must carry the place of service where the patient was, or the claim is denied.

Dementia, depression and delirium overlap

Memory loss, low mood and confusion can look alike and often occur together. The note has to separate them and code dementia with its severity and any behavioral disturbance.

Caregivers in every decision

Families and facility staff carry out the plan. They need clear instructions, and their involvement has to be documented with the patient’s consent or legal authority.

WHERE THE WORK HAPPENS

How geriatric psychiatry care is delivered and billed

Geriatric psychiatrists work in clinics, hospitals, nursing facilities and patients’ homes. Visits are billed on the professional claim, mostly to Medicare, with the place of service set by where the patient was seen.

What payers check on geriatric psychiatry claims

Nursing facility and home visits need the correct place of service.
Dementia codes specify severity and behavioral disturbance.
Cognitive assessment and care planning require specific elements.
Psychotherapy is billed by time.
Antipsychotic use in nursing facilities is closely reviewed.

Common geriatric psychiatry diagnoses ICD-10-CM

F03.90	Unspecified dementia, unspecified severity, without behavioral disturbance, psychotic disturbance, mood disturbance, and anxiety
F33.1	Major depressive disorder, recurrent, moderate
G30.1	Alzheimer’s disease with late onset
F05	Delirium due to known physiological condition
F41.1	Generalized anxiety disorder

Examples only. The provider chooses the code that matches the documented diagnosis, and XEHR checks it against the note and the payer's rules before the claim goes out.
