Mental Health Billing That Understands Your Practice
Between complex CPT time rules, ever-changing telehealth policies, and the unique challenges of behavioral health reimbursement, psychiatry billing requires specialized expertise. We help mental health professionals navigate these challenges—so you can focus on patient care rather than paperwork.
Last year, we helped a 15-provider behavioral health group recover $143,000 in previously denied claims by correcting therapy documentation and modifier usage. But beyond the numbers, we give you back the time and peace of mind to concentrate on your patients' wellbeing.
