  1. Mental Health Billing – 3 Things You Should Know About Mental health billing involves multiple billing of the same patient until complete recovery. Like other specialties, mental health billing is quite different, and even physicians can’t set a time limit for treating patients. This makes the billing complicated to the medical practice and a lot of confusion can arise in assigning the right codes. More than anything, among the types of services offered under mental health, pre-authorization, unbundling concerns, and the size of the staff and their availability, mental health billing facilities are often on a negative side compared to other healthcare professionals. info@247medicalbillingservices.com https://www.247medicalbillingservices.com/ 888-502-0537

  2. #1: Check patient’s insurance and coverage details twice or thrice Insurance and coverage verification of benefits is generally a crucial one for the majority of healthcare practices, and mental health practices are not least in it. You should check your patient’s insurance and coverage details at the beginning of the treatment and let them know which part of their treatment will be covered and which one will not; therefore, they will be prior aware of their incurring expenses. By doing so will make you predict your payment and initiate claims for on-time reimbursements. info@247medicalbillingservices.com https://www.247medicalbillingservices.com/ 888-502-0537

  4. #2: Thoroughly understand CPT codes CPT is called common procedural technology codes and the codes are used to determine the amount of reimbursement given to healthcare facilities. When it comes to mental health practices offering multiple services or even the same services multiple times, it is critical to understand the approach of mental health physicians and know the CPT codes associated with the respective treatment. Behavioral health practitioners come across two types of codes as E/M (Evaluation management) and psychiatric evaluation codes. E/M codes should be used upon the evaluation of a new medical issue providing three important documentations like history, examination, and medical decision-making. info@247medicalbillingservices.com https://www.247medicalbillingservices.com/ 888-502-0537

  5. #3: Understand and practice how to submit claims properly Like how codes are important for proper reimbursements, clearly understanding the claims before the submission is also important. Depending upon the insurance company, the claim format may change and submission also takes a toss. Therefore, know the expectations of insurance form filling and ensure you file claims within the preferred time provided by the insurance company. This will avoid claims rejections and help your practice manage denials successfully. info@247medicalbillingservices.com https://www.247medicalbillingservices.com/ 888-502-0537
