Mental Health Billing

Billing support for mental health practices navigating complex payer requirements.

The Challenge

Common Billing Challenges in Mental Health

Mental health practices face many of the same billing challenges as behavioral health broadly — but with additional complexity around session documentation, group therapy, and evolving telehealth rules that vary by payer and state.

Psychotherapy Code Selection

Individual psychotherapy CPT codes are time-based — selecting the wrong code based on session length creates audit risk.

Add-On Code Billing

Psychotherapy add-on codes for E/M services require specific documentation and cannot be billed by all provider types.

Telehealth Coverage Changes

Post-pandemic telehealth rules continue to evolve, with different payers maintaining different coverage policies.

Credentialing Gaps

Mental health provider shortages mean many practices bring on new clinicians quickly — without completing payer credentialing in advance.
