Behavioral Health Billing

Expert billing for mental health and substance use disorder services.

The Challenge

Common Billing Challenges in Behavioral Health

Behavioral health billing is among the most complex in healthcare. Payer policies vary dramatically, documentation requirements are strict, and medical necessity denials are common. Without specialized billers, practices lose a significant portion of earned revenue.

Medical Necessity Denials

Payers frequently deny behavioral health claims citing inadequate medical necessity documentation.

Telehealth Billing Rules

Telehealth coverage and billing requirements for behavioral health vary by payer and change frequently.

Mental Health Parity

Many payers apply more restrictive criteria to behavioral health than to comparable medical services — a potential parity violation.

Group Therapy Billing

Group therapy requires different CPT codes and has specific documentation requirements that differ from individual sessions.
