Can you code for each participant of a session of marriage counseling?

No, as this would be considered double-dipping or duplicate billing. There should be only one identified "client." If that person's treatment for an existing mental health diagnosis is requiring their partner or spouse to participate in treatment, then only that one client should be identified and billed. Remember that "marriage counseling" itself is not a billable service for insurance companies. Only services that are deemed "medically necessary" are covered by medical insurance.

90847, billed as family therapy only you would use the partner relational problem (V61.10) as your primary diagnosis. It won't get covered by insurance anywhere, so make sure it is TRUE marriage counseling and that the provider isn't actually doing family therapy for the patient's mental diagnosis.
