How these therapy and counseling rates are calculated

Use this methodology to understand what each published amount represents and which billing details must match before comparing therapy services.

  • Rate sourceEach value is a payer-published in-network negotiated or fee-schedule amount for professional therapy billing, not a claim, charge, or estimate of total allowed spending.
  • Therapist cohortThe source records are limited to therapist NPI taxonomies for counselors, clinical social workers, marriage and family therapists, psychoanalysts, and psychotherapy-focused psychologists. Medical prescribers, facilities, school providers, and broad behavioral health agencies are excluded.
  • Rate calculationOne modal value is selected per NPI and TIN entity before trimming two percent from each tail. National and state summaries are not weighted by visit volume and require at least 10 included entities.
  • Telehealth contextThis initial view includes records without a reported modifier. Telehealth modifiers and compound modifier combinations require a separately labeled comparison.

How to interpret therapy and counseling rates

How to interpret the selected market and payer-published rates.

Which providers are included in this therapy market?

The comparison is limited to NPI taxonomy codes for counselors, clinical social workers, marriage and family therapists, psychoanalysts, and psychotherapy-focused psychologists. It excludes psychiatrists, psychiatric nurse practitioners, facilities, school providers, and broad behavioral health agencies.

What does the national benchmark compare?

The headline uses Psychotherapy, 60 minutes (90837). Other durations, family and group therapy, crisis services, add-ons, and health behavior services are compared separately rather than combined.

Are these the amounts a therapist was paid on a claim?

No. These are payer-published in-network negotiated or fee-schedule amounts, not claim payments or a therapist's verified contract. Use them as market context and compare them with your own fee schedule, contract, and remits.

Are these rates specifically in-person rates?

This initial view uses professional billing records without a reported modifier. The absence of a telehealth modifier does not conclusively establish the care setting, so the results are described as an unmodified baseline.

What should be aligned before comparing therapy rates?

Match the exact code, reported duration, modifier, care setting, payer product, network, geography, and contract period.
