CPT code 90853, which refers to group psychotherapy, is typically intended for outpatient settings. In an inpatient context, the billing practices can vary by facility and payer policies. Generally, inpatient facilities may have specific codes that better reflect the nature of the treatment provided, so it's important to consult with the facility's billing department or the payer for guidance on appropriate coding in an inpatient setting.
