For a psy the normal is for the intial evaul 90801 is 45- to an hr, the follow up's med checks 90862 are 5-15 min , Call your insurance comanys claims dept see what code the billed for, and if it does not match, make a complaint!!!

My first visit to a therapist was 30mins..
But I don't have any Workcover needs. ?? maybe its a money scam, it probably isn't,

Get a second opinion, and when you go in for an evaluation, write down everything from what you have on to your symptoms, documentation is the best, and make a copy for yourself, assessments can take as little as 15 minutes, they are taking your money, and you have a right to take up more than that quarter of an hour. I have had doctors, after a ten minute review, make a report that was all screwed up, because they are writing down only the basics, and afterward, making the reports, they tend to forget "details". Document!
