Mental Health Billing: Claims Paid for Every Session
Billing Built for Psychiatry, Therapy and Counseling Practices
Billing Benefit handles billing for psychiatrists, psychiatric nurse practitioners, psychologists and licensed therapists: diagnostic evaluations, psychotherapy, medication management and telehealth sessions. We check benefits and authorizations before the first visit, code each session by its documented time and follow up until it is paid.
Mental Health Billing Expertise
Psychiatry and therapy codes we work with every day
Behavioral health claims are most often denied for time, documentation and authorization problems. Our coders work with psychiatric diagnostic evaluations (90791, 90792), psychotherapy by session time (90832, 90834, 90837), psychotherapy add-ons with E/M visits for medication management (90833, 90836, 90838), crisis psychotherapy (90839, 90840), family and group therapy (90846, 90847, 90853) and interactive complexity (90785). We make sure the documented session time supports the code billed before the claim goes out.
Telehealth and Authorizations
Benefits, visit limits and telehealth rules
Before the first session we verify mental health benefits, including plans where a separate behavioral health company manages them, check visit limits and get prior authorization where the plan requires it. We bill telehealth and audio-only sessions with the right place-of-service codes and modifiers, and we track authorized visits so sessions are not provided after an authorization runs out. For a code-by-code guide, see our mental health CPT codes article.
Full Revenue Cycle Management
From eligibility to payment
We handle the whole cycle for behavioral health practices: insurance verification and authorizations, charge entry and coding, clean claim submission, payment posting, denial management, A/R follow-up and patient statements for copays and deductibles. Denied sessions are corrected or appealed with the clinical record, and every month you get a clear report on collections, denials and what is still open.
Dedicated Support for Your Practice
One team that knows behavioral health
You get one point of contact and billers who know mental health billing. We handle credentialing for psychiatrists, psychiatric nurse practitioners, psychologists and licensed therapists, including Medicare enrollment for marriage and family therapists and mental health counselors, which Medicare has allowed since 2024. We work with practices across Texas from our Sugar Land office and support behavioral health practices nationwide. Book a free consultation to see what we would change in your billing.
