Psychotherapy Less than 16min

Hi,

I am not a behavioral health coder and I am learning to be one. Is there a way to bill for psychotherapy visit less than 16 min? It is my understanding it requires at least 16 mins in order qualify to bill 90832. To clarify, this is for Article 28 setting (non-OMH clinic).
