Common Psychologist Invoicing Mistakes

Invoices go sideways when details are fuzzy or missing. Use these quick fixes to keep payments smooth and prevent disputes.

Mistake
How to fix it
Leaving off session duration causes rate disputes and claim denials.
Always record minutes for each service. Match the time to your rate and any required code.
Bundling assessment, therapy, and travel into one line hides costs and triggers pushback.
Use separate lines for each service. That makes time, rate, and scope obvious.
Show the deposit as a prior payment and subtract it from the subtotal. Keep the receipt attached or referenced.

Pair any required code with a plain-language name. Write short, clear descriptions.
Pair any required code with a plain-language name. Write short, clear descriptions.
Leaving off license or registration identifiers blocks reimbursement and creates audit risk.
Include your license number and any required registration ID on every invoice. Update them when they change.
Charging tax when it is not required leads to overpayment and refunds.
Check local rules on tax before adding it. If tax applies, show the rate and total as separate lines.

Psychologists Invoice FAQs

Bill for therapy sessions, testing blocks, cancellations, CPT/ICD codes, court time, and EAP work. Use our Psychologists Invoice Template for clear answers.

How do I bill for a 50-minute session vs a 90-minute session?

Use the CPT that matches time. Many clinicians use 90834 for 45–59 minutes and 90837 for 60+. Example line item: “90837 - 60 min psychotherapy - $160.”

Can I charge a late cancellation or no-show fee?

Yes, if it’s in your policy and clients sign it. Rules vary—check local rules. Example line item: “No-show fee - less than 24 hrs - $100.”

How should I list psychological testing time, scoring, and report writing?

Break it out. Testing is billed by administration time, plus scoring and report writing. Example: “96130 - test eval first hour - $200; 96131 - each addl hr - $175; Report writing - 1 hr - $175.”

Do I include a diagnosis code on out-of-network superbills?

Most insurers require an ICD-10 code and a CPT. Therapists may omit a diagnosis only if client agrees and plan allows. Example: “ICD-10: F41.1; CPT: 90834 - $140.”

What are typical rates and minimums for court prep and testimony?

Set different rates and a prepaid minimum. Include travel and wait time. Example: “Court testimony - 3 hr minimum - $900; Travel - 1.5 hr - $225; Document prep - 1 hr - $200.”

How do I bill for couples or family sessions?

Use the family psychotherapy CPT when appropriate. Many counselors use 90847 when the patient is present, 90846 when not. Example: “90847 - family session - 60 min - $180.”

How should telehealth be labeled to get reimbursed?

State it’s telehealth and add required POS or modifier. Rules vary—check payer guidance. Example: “90837-95 - POS 10 - 60 min telehealth - $160.”

For school observations or on-site consults, can I bill travel time?

Yes, if your agreement states it. List on-site time and travel separately. Example: “School observation - 2 hr - $300; Travel - 45 min - $90.”
