Specialized Psychiatry Billing
How Our Psychiatry Billing Services Help Your Practice Thrive
At Medbilling RCM, we specialize in overcoming the unique billing challenges faced by psychiatric practices. Mental health billing involves a distinct set of coding rules, referral requirements, and coverage complexity that generalist billing teams routinely get wrong.
Our AAPC-certified specialists understand psychiatric CPT coding at the procedure level from initial evaluations and psychotherapy add-ons to medication management visits ensuring your claims are accurate, compliant, and paid on time.
Request Free DemoComplex Coding
Psychiatric billing involves numerous codes for similar services different CPT codes depending on whether a medical or non-medical provider performs an evaluation. This complexity trips up inexperienced coders, especially when add-on codes (which must be paired with a primary code) are involved. Our expert team ensures all codes are correctly applied, reducing the risk of claim denials and keeping your practice compliant.
Referral Management
Patients often need a referral from a general practitioner before seeing a psychiatrist. We make sure all referrals are properly filed with the payer before your patients are seen, preventing payment delays. Psychiatrists also need to be credentialed with a wide range of insurers both private and government. Medbilling RCM handles this complexity so your practice can focus on providing care.
Understanding Coverage Rules
The Affordable Care Act mandates that all Health Insurance Marketplace plans include mental health and substance use disorder services, but specifics vary greatly between plans. Coverage rules for Medicare also differ depending on the part of the plan (A, B, or D) and whether the patient has supplemental insurance. Our in-depth knowledge of these policies ensures claims are filed correctly, even in the face of complex coverage rules.
