Behavioral Health & Psychiatry Medical Billing Services

Time-based codes, session limits, parity rules, and constantly changing telehealth policy make mental health billing uniquely error-prone. Our certified coders specialize in behavioral health so your sessions get paid — accurately and on time.

We handle behavioral health and psychiatry billing end to end — eligibility and authorization, time-based coding, submission, and denial follow-up. Because mental health claims hinge on precise time documentation and payer-specific limits, a specialty-trained biller protects revenue that general billers routinely lose to denials.

Behavioral health billing we handle

Psychotherapy — 90832 / 90834 / 90837 with correct time thresholds.
Psychiatric diagnostic evaluations — 90791 and 90792 (with medical services).
E/M + psychotherapy add-ons — combined medication-management visits coded correctly.
Group & family therapy — 90846 / 90847 / 90853.
Crisis and add-on codes — accurate, documented reporting.
Telehealth — correct POS and modifiers per payer, kept current with policy changes.

Why it matters. A single 90837 denied for insufficient time documentation, or a session denied for an exceeded limit, is revenue you already earned. We prevent these at the front end and appeal the ones payers get wrong.

Why behavioral health practices lose revenue

The common leaks: wrong psychotherapy time code, missing or exceeded authorizations, telehealth claims filed with outdated POS/modifiers, parity-related denials, and add-on codes billed incorrectly. These are small errors with big cumulative cost across a high-volume therapy schedule.

Behavioral health billing FAQs

What makes behavioral health billing different?

Behavioral health mixes time-based psychotherapy codes (90832/90834/90837), psychiatric evaluations (90791/90792), E/M with therapy add-ons, and group/family therapy — each with strict time documentation and frequency rules. Mental health parity, session limits, and payer-specific authorization requirements add complexity that general billers often mishandle.

Do you bill telehealth for therapy and psychiatry?

Yes. We apply the correct place-of-service codes and telehealth modifiers (e.g., 95, GT) per payer, and keep up with the frequently changing telehealth rules that heavily affect behavioral health.

Can you handle prior authorizations and session limits?

Yes. We track authorizations and per-plan session limits so claims are not denied for exceeded visits or missing auth — a leading cause of behavioral health denials.

Do you work with solo therapists and group practices?

Both. From an individual LCSW or psychologist to a multi-provider psychiatry group, we scale the same certified coding and denial follow-up to your practice.
