In case you were wondering, yes, online therapy or e-therapy or online counseling is billable to insurance companies under the CPT code 0074T. This was released in January, 2004.

Winnie Lee and Christal: did you find an answer to your question? I would also like to know if such a specific CPT code exists?

Please, Does anyone have an answer to the TELEPHONE CPT Code question?? Can we use the same one as for e-therapy (0074T)???

Hi All,

There is no code that can be used for therapy over the phone. All psychology codes are face to face. I am wondering if there is a consultation code that can be use, but the therapist will have to determine which one since we wont know what the context of the conversation will be.

America seem to be ahead of the rest of the world with this code :)
