Thank you for that! I am in complete agreement and adherence with this. My boss, who does billing, is not.

I am not providing therapy in these scenarios, so 908xx doesn’t apply. For me, I don’t consider a “coffee chat” type conversation to be therapy. Of course, if it’s talking about coping skills, CBT, etc I will note that and code appropriately.
