Behavioral health billing is an imperative function of organizations. Behavioral health billing is more difficult than the other areas of healthcare due to the scope, time, services, and barriers placed on behavioral health treatment. If an organization does not bill properly or is not in payer compliance, it puts them at risk of not receiving payment on claims billed or being at risk for an audit that could result in an organization having to make payments back to the payers.
How We Help:
The consulting team is able to help organizations in various ways with billing consulting. We have extensive experience helping organizations apply for in-network contracts while helping the organization make any programmatic changes necessary to be in payer compliance. Our team also works with facilities to apply for medicaid and managed care organization contracts, advising on best practices once achieved. When organizations find themselves in a pre-payment audit our team of experienced professionals will help through every step of the way whether it is completing a review of billed claims, reviewing clinical documentation, and providing guidance on how to manage through the audit. With decades of billing experience our team is able to provide guidance on how to improve clinical documentation to align with payer standards and how to improve billing practices to maximize reimbursement.
