Why General Medical Billers Fail Mental Health Practices

Mental health billing is not like cardiology or surgery. Payers hide behind carve-out carve-ins, session time strictness, and complex parity guidelines designed to delay mental health reimbursement.

??

90837 vs. 90834 Audit Traps

Commercial payers routinely audit 60-minute individual psychotherapy (90837). Inexperienced billers down-code to 90834 out of fear, losing $35+ per visit. We protect your documentation with compliant start/stop time protocols.

  • Exact session time verification
  • Audit-defense chart scrubbing
  • Zero unwarranted down-coding
??

Psychiatry E/M + 90833 Add-On

When a Psychiatrist or PMHNP provides medical management (99213/99214) and 30 minutes of therapy (90833), payers automatically deny the add-on code without correct modifier linkage. We ensure both services are fully paid.

  • Correct E/M complexity mapping
  • Payer-specific psychotherapy add-ons
  • Spravato & pharmacotherapy support
??

Telehealth POS 02 vs. 10 Rules

Post-PHE rules require accurate Place of Service coding (POS 10 for patient's home, POS 02 outside home) and modifier 95/FQ. Billing the wrong combination triggers instant clearinghouse rejection.

  • Cross-state licensing parity checks
  • Audio-only vs audiovisual modifier compliance
  • Real-time clearinghouse rule updates

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about outsourcing your behavioral health billing.

Commercial payers like Optum and Aetna frequently scrutinize 60-minute therapy codes. Our certified coders audit every note for explicit start and stop session times, clinical interventions, and documented medical necessity. We prevent down-coding while ensuring your charts withstand any commercial post-payment audit.
No! You keep the EHR your clinicians are comfortable with. We work directly inside SimplePractice, TherapyNotes, Kareo/Tebra, AdvancedMD, Valant, CharmHealth, and all major platforms. We log in, scrub charges, submit claims, post payments, and handle denials seamlessly.
Many major medical plans (like BCBS or employer plans) subcontract their mental health benefits to third-party carve-outs like Optum, Carelon, or Magellan. We verify patient eligibility 48 hours prior to visits, identify the exact carve-out claims address and clearinghouse payer ID, and route the claim correctly the first time.
We operate on a pure performance model: a transparent percentage of actual collections received in your bank account. If you don't get paid, we don't get paid. There are zero setup fees, zero hidden software charges, and zero long-term lock-in contracts.
