Who We Serve Navigation

Mental Health Providers We Serve
Across the United States

We support mental health providers nationwide with accurate billing, credentialing, and revenue
cycle solutions designed for behavioral health practices.

Psychiatrists

Psychiatry billing involves complex coding due to combined services such as diagnostic evaluations, medication management, and psychotherapy within a single visit. Claims must accurately capture E/M levels, add-on codes, and prescribing compliance. Our workflows ensure correct documentation, prior authorization handling for psychiatric medications, and payer-aligned billing across outpatient clinics, facilities, and telepsychiatry settings.

Psychologists

Psychologists provide diagnostic assessments, therapy sessions, and psychological testing that require precise documentation and time tracking. Billing accuracy depends on proper coding for testing administration, scoring, and interpretation. Therapy services follow strict time-based CPT thresholds and documented treatment goals. Our billing procedures ensure compliant coding and smooth reimbursement for psychologist-led services.

Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioners

PMHNP practices provide medication management and behavioral health counseling under varying state scope-of-practice rules. Billing workflows must align with payer credentialing requirements across Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial insurers. Telehealth services require accurate place-of-service indicators and modifier usage. Our billing support ensures compliant coding and reliable reimbursement for PMHNP-led practices.

Licensed Professional Counselors

Licensed Professional Counselors provide psychotherapy for individuals, couples, and groups, with claims based on session duration and treatment documentation. Coverage eligibility varies by payer, and some insurers apply provider recognition limitations. Proper benefits verification prevents submission of non-covered services. Our billing support ensures accurate claims and smooth reimbursement for LPC practices.

Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists

LMFT services address relationship dynamics in couples and family therapy sessions. Billing requires clear documentation of participant roles, treatment focus, and clinical justification for multi-person sessions. Session structures differ from individual therapy and must align with payer guidelines. Our billing process ensures accurate eligibility verification, compliant coding, and reliable reimbursement for LMFT services.

Licensed Clinical Social Workers

Licensed Clinical Social Workers (LCSWs) provide psychotherapy, crisis intervention, and care coordination across outpatient clinics, community programs, and integrated care settings. Billing requires accurate coding for individual therapy, group sessions, and coordination services. Medicare recognition expands reimbursement opportunities across multiple payers. Our billing processes ensure compliant documentation and efficient claim submission for LCSW-led behavioral health services.

Out of Network Mental Health Providers

Out-of-network practices depend on patient reimbursement rather than direct insurer payments. Billing focuses on generating accurate superbills that patients submit to their insurance plans. Clear documentation supports benefit claims and reduces disputes related to medical necessity. Our workflows streamline superbill creation and improve transparency for patients seeking reimbursement.

Support for Solo, Group, and Telehealth Practices

Practice structure directly affects billing workflows and revenue management. Solo clinicians need streamlined processes with minimal administrative burden, while group practices require coordinated scheduling, credentialing, and payment tracking across multiple providers. Telehealth practices rely on accurate digital documentation and remote eligibility verification. Our billing systems support solo, group, and hybrid practices operating both in-person and through virtual care.
