Behavioral Health
Empowering Providers, Enhancing Care, Elevating Revenue.
Overcoming Complexities, Maximizing Revenue, and Ensuring Compliance
Behavioral and mental health providers face significant challenges in managing their revenue cycle. Unlike general medical services, behavioral health treatments require specialized coding, strict documentation, and adherence to ever-changing regulations. Without a proper billing strategy, practices risk claim denials, lost revenue, and administrative burdens.
At Scionis RCM, we provide expert billing solutions tailored to behavioral, psychiatric, and mental health providers. Our services streamline revenue cycles, reduce claim denials, ensure compliance, and maximize reimbursements, allowing providers to focus on delivering quality patient care.
Behavioral health billing faces unique challenges, including:
Complex Insurance Verification and Eligibility Issues: Detailed verification is required to confirm insurance coverage. Failure to verify eligibility can lead to costly denials and revenue loss.
Prior Authorization Requirements: Psychiatric evaluations, therapy sessions, and substance abuse treatments often require pre-authorization, leading to payment delays if not secured on time.
Time-Based Billing and Unique Coding Standards: Billing based on session duration requires precise time tracking to avoid denials or underpayments.
Frequent Policy and Regulatory Changes: Constant updates in insurance regulations, billing codes, and reimbursement policies make compliance challenging.
Higher Denial Rates Due to Documentation Errors: Insurers scrutinize therapy notes and treatment plans. Incomplete documentation results in claim denials and delayed payments.
Administrative Burdens and Reduced Focus on Patient Care: Billing complexities increase administrative workload, diverting time from patient care.
Seamless Insurance Verification and Pre-Authorizations: Accurate insurance verification to prevent denials and fast pre-authorization management reducing approval delays.
Expert Coding and Time-Based Billing Accuracy: Behavioral health-specific CPT and ICD-10 coding expertise and precise time-based billing to eliminate errors and maximize reimbursements.
Compliance and Denial Management: Real-time monitoring of policy updates to keep billing compliant and proactive denial prevention with thorough claim reviews.
