About the behavioral health billing role
Mental health billing has its own rules. Psychotherapy codes are time-based, add-on codes have to be paired correctly with E/M visits, authorizations cover a set number of sessions, telehealth needs the right place-of-service code and modifier, and many plans carve behavioral health out to a separate administrator. Get any of those wrong and claims deny in batches. As a behavioral health biller you handle billing end to end for therapy and psychiatry practices.
What you will do
- Bill psychotherapy (90832, 90834, 90837), family therapy and group therapy codes correctly
- Bill psychiatric diagnostic evaluations and E/M visits with psychotherapy add-on codes
- Apply telehealth place-of-service codes and modifiers by payer
- Route claims to behavioral health carve-out administrators where plans require it
- Track session authorizations and coordinate with the authorization team
- Post payments, work denials and follow up on unpaid claims
- Bill for licensed clinicians and supervised associates according to payer rules
What you need
- Two or more years of mental health or behavioral health billing
- Working knowledge of psychotherapy and psychiatric CPT codes and their time rules
- Experience with telehealth billing rules and carve-out payers
- Respect for the particular sensitivity of mental health records
Helpful, not required
Experience in SimplePractice, TherapyNotes or similar, and with Medicaid behavioral health plans or EAP billing.
