For the Current Procedural Terminology (CPT®) 2023 code set, a new subsection titled “Behavior Management Services” and two new codes (96202, 96203) have been established in the Medicine section. These new codes are used to report multiple-family group behavior management and modification training that is administered by a physician or other qualified health care professional (QHP) for parents, guardians, and/or caregivers of patients with an unwanted or problematic behavior related to a mental or physical health diagnosis. Corresponding guidelines and parenthetical notes have also been added to provide instructions for reporting these services and to direct users to the appropriate codes to report additional and distinct services that may also be provided. This article provides an overview of the appropriate use of these new codes.
