Pro Tips: Add an Interactive Complexity (or any Other) Billing Code

One of the most common add-on CPT codes in behavioral health is Interactive Complexity (90785). When a client encounter requires greater-than-usual effort a therapist can add this CPT code to the standard mental health billing codes (This APA guide outlines its use).

How would you add a second CPT code like 90785 in BreezyNotes?
