Better behavioral health billing

Coding is difficult. No way around it! But we make it look easy. Our experts are certified in coding, and specifically understand the coding needs of an behavioral health practice. 

We code for common behavioral health codes like:

• Psychiatric Diagnostic Evaluation (CPT 90791, 90792)
• Psychotherapy – Individual (90832, 90834, 90837)
• Family Therapy (90846, 90847)
• Group Therapy (90853)
• Medication Management (99212–99215 + 90863)
• Crisis Services, Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP), and Telehealth Support

But it's not just the codes themselves that make coding difficult. Mastering the coding process for behavioral health practices goes beyond billing; it ensures appropriate reimbursement for the complex services you provide, supports healthcare sustainability, and ultimately enhances patient care quality. By equipping yourself with the right knowledge, resources, and a dedication to best practices, you'll successfully navigate coding challenges and maintain a focus on your patients.

• Time-based coding validation (e.g., 30-, 45-, 60-minute sessions) 
• Modifier guidance (e.g., 25, 95, GT) 
• State and payer-specific guidelines for behavioral health 
• Support for treatment plans, medical necessity, and re-authorization timelines

• Real-time eligibility & benefits verification
• Appeals for medical necessity or authorization-related denials
• Rejections tied to improper use of time-based codes or place of service
