Mental Health Billing Service

Specialized service for mental health providers

Medical Billing vs. Mental Health Billing

Mental Health billing is different than medical billing for other provider specialties.  Many times the insurance companies have contracted with a third party administrator to oversee the plan benefits for mental health, separate from their medical benefits.  Several EAP (employee assistance program) plans require their own individual forms that must be faxed or mailed with appropriate clinical information. The filing time limit is typically 30 to 60 days
for the EAP panels.  A typical billing company would have difficulty with Mental Health Billing unless they possess the experience in this specialty.
