What the whole procedure costs
The rate above is the physician’s fee on its own. The facility bills separately, and for most procedures the facility is the larger half of the bill. These are 2026 national Medicare amounts.
Medicare may pay the facility separately for this code or package it into another service on the same day, so treat the facility share as an upper bound. Medicare allowed amounts are not what an uninsured patient is charged, and not a quote. Private plans typically allow more.

What these numbers are
Every figure on this page is a 2026 Medicare allowed amount: the physician line comes from the Physician Fee Schedule adjusted by geographic practice-cost indices, and the facility totals come from the CMS hospital outpatient (OPPS) and ambulatory surgery centre rates. None of them is a hospital chargemaster price, your insurer's contracted rate, or a quote. Anesthesia, pathology, imaging reads and follow-up care are billed under their own codes when they apply, and an inpatient stay is paid a different way again. In Oklahoma the office and hospital physician lines for this CPT differ by $28.34.
National vs Oklahoma
Where Oklahoma ranks for this CPT
Psychotherapy (60 min) and how Oklahoma is priced
Oklahoma is priced as one statewide locality with geographic indices in the low national tier, so Oklahoma City, Tulsa, and the rural southwest share a single set of Medicare-approved amounts. The state's two big metros hold most of its providers, but neither carries a separate locality premium. Low practice-cost indices keep Oklahoma's published rates among the more affordable in the fee schedule. What patients pay hinges mainly on care setting and insurance status rather than where in the state they live.
Oklahoma City and Tulsa split the state's specialty care between them, each with academic-affiliated medical centers and competing regional systems. Rural Oklahoma has struggled with hospital closures and physician recruitment, leaving long drives in the Panhandle and the southeast. Tribal health systems are a significant part of the care landscape, operating some of the larger rural facilities in the state.
This procedure: This is an extended individual psychotherapy session of about 60 minutes, used when clinical work benefits from more time, such as trauma-focused therapies like EMDR or prolonged exposure, complex cases, or clients who simply progress better with longer sessions. The experience is the same as any therapy session, just longer, in office or via telehealth. Many private-practice therapists use this as their default session length.
What Is Psychotherapy (60 min)?
This is an extended individual psychotherapy session of about 60 minutes, used when clinical work benefits from more time, such as trauma-focused therapies like EMDR or prolonged exposure, complex cases, or clients who simply progress better with longer sessions. The experience is the same as any therapy session, just longer, in office or via telehealth. Many private-practice therapists use this as their default session length.
What Affects the Cost
- –The 60-minute code both charges and reimburses more than the 45-minute 90834, so session length is itself a cost decision.
- –Some insurers scrutinize routine use of the longer code and effectively pressure therapists toward 45-minute billing, affecting what is offered in network.
- –Trauma protocols that clinically require longer sessions can lock you into the higher per-session rate for an extended course.
- –Cash rates for 60-minute sessions in major metropolitan areas run well above national averages.
- –Weekly frequency at the higher session rate compounds fastest of the common therapy configurations.
Questions to Ask Before Booking
- 1.Do you bill 45 or 60 minute sessions, and how does that change my cost per visit?
- 2.Does my treatment approach genuinely need the longer session, or would 45 minutes serve?
- 3.What is my plan's allowed amount for 90837 out of network?
- 4.Has my insurer ever pushed back on your 60-minute billing, and what happens to my sessions if it does?
- 5.Is telehealth billed at the same rate as in-person for the hour session?

Psychotherapy (60 min) in Oklahoma: questions
Oklahoma is a single Medicare locality for this fee schedule. The 2026 physician rate for CPT 90837 is $162.57 in an office and $134.23 in a hospital, statewide. A ZIP lookup still confirms the locality mapping.
Not on the physician fee schedule. Oklahoma uses one locality, so the Medicare physician rate is the same from one end of the state to the other. What still changes is site of service (office vs hospital) and any facility fee the hospital bills on its own claim.
After the Part B deductible, coinsurance is usually 20% of the allowed amount: about $33 for the office physician line or $27 for the hospital physician line in Oklahoma. Medigap may cover that 20%. This is not the hospital facility fee.
No. $162.57 is only the physician's share. Adding Medicare's facility payment brings the total to about $317 in a hospital outpatient department. Anesthesia, pathology and other codes billed the same day are extra. Oklahoma ranks #6 of 51 states on the physician line (3% below the national office rate of $167.00).
