Mental Health & Behavioral Health 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, psychiatry, and therapy billing so your sessions get paid, accurately and on time.
Get a Free Behavioral Health Billing AuditWe 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.

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The common leaks: wrong psychotherapy time code, missing or exceeded authorizations, telehealth claims filed with outdated POS/modifiers, parity-related denials, and add-on codes billed incorrectly.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.
Do you bill for psychiatry, psychology, and independent therapists?
Yes. We bill for psychiatrists, psychologists, LCSWs, LPCs, and LMFTs, and group mental health practices, matching each provider type to the correct psychotherapy, evaluation, testing, and E/M codes.
Can you help a therapist get credentialed to accept insurance?
Yes. Getting on insurance panels is often the hardest part of starting a mental health practice. Our credentialing team handles CAQH, payer enrollment, and panel applications so you can accept insurance and bill in-network, and credentialing is free for our billing clients.
