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 South Dakota the office and hospital physician lines for this CPT differ by $42.76.
National vs South Dakota
Where South Dakota ranks for this CPT
Psychiatric Evaluation With Medical Services and how South Dakota is priced
All of South Dakota falls under a single payment locality with indices near the bottom of the national scale, cushioned by the work index floor for low-cost states. Sioux Falls and a West River ranch community share one published fee schedule. The state's east-west split, with most people and providers east of the Missouri River, has no counterpart in the pricing structure. That leaves South Dakota with some of the simplest and lowest Medicare pricing in the country.
Sioux Falls has become a genuine regional medical hub, headquarters to large systems whose reach extends across the Dakotas and into neighboring states, while Rapid City anchors care for the West River side and the Black Hills. Vast stretches between them rely on critical access hospitals and tribal facilities, some of the most isolated care settings in America. Referrals to Sioux Falls, Rapid City, or out of state are a routine part of rural care.
This procedure: This is the psychiatric diagnostic evaluation performed by a medical provider, a psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner, that includes medical services: reviewing your health history and medications, considering physical causes of symptoms, and usually prescribing or adjusting psychiatric medication. It typically lasts 45 to 90 minutes as the intake for medication management. Follow-up prescribing visits are then shorter and billed under different codes.
What Is Psychiatric Evaluation With Medical Services?
This is the psychiatric diagnostic evaluation performed by a medical provider, a psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner, that includes medical services: reviewing your health history and medications, considering physical causes of symptoms, and usually prescribing or adjusting psychiatric medication. It typically lasts 45 to 90 minutes as the intake for medication management. Follow-up prescribing visits are then shorter and billed under different codes.
What Affects the Cost
- –Psychiatrists are among the least likely of all physicians to accept insurance, so cash-pay intake fees are common and vary widely by market.
- –This medical evaluation code pays more than the non-medical 90791, and clinician list prices reflect that.
- –Any labs ordered at intake, such as thyroid or metabolic panels before starting medication, are billed separately by the lab.
- –Follow-up medication visits recur monthly or quarterly indefinitely, so the ongoing cadence matters more than the intake price.
- –Private-pay concierge psychiatry practices bundle intakes and follow-ups into membership pricing outside insurance entirely.
Questions to Ask Before Booking
- 1.Do you take my insurance, and what are your cash rates for the intake and for follow-ups?
- 2.How often will I need follow-up visits, and how are those billed?
- 3.Will you order baseline labs, and where should I have them drawn to stay in network?
- 4.If therapy is recommended alongside medication, do you provide it or refer out?
- 5.Can I request a network-gap exception if no in-network prescriber is available in a reasonable time?

Psychiatric Evaluation With Medical Services in South Dakota: questions
South Dakota is a single Medicare locality for this fee schedule. The 2026 physician rate for CPT 90792 is $198.31 in an office and $155.55 in a hospital, statewide. A ZIP lookup still confirms the locality mapping.
Not on the physician fee schedule. South Dakota 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 $40 for the office physician line or $31 for the hospital physician line in South Dakota. Medigap may cover that 20%. This is not the hospital facility fee.
No. $198.31 is only the physician's share. Adding Medicare's facility payment brings the total to about $341 in a hospital outpatient department. Anesthesia, pathology and other codes billed the same day are extra. South Dakota ranks #21 of 51 states on the physician line (within 2% of the national office rate of $202.08).
