Psychiatry & Behavioral Health Billing

Mental health parity law compliance, prior auth management, and session-based coding.
Psychiatry Billing

We know psychiatry billing inside out.

Behavioral health billing is governed by the Mental Health Parity Act, complex prior authorization requirements, and time-based coding. Most practices spend far too much time on billing administration. We reduce that burden by 80%.

How We Work

Specialty-specific billing — not generic billing applied to your specialty

Generic billers learn your specialty on the job — using your revenue to fund their education. Our coders are hired, trained, and audited by specialty. Your cardiology charts go to a cardiology coder. Every time.

Specialty-Trained Coders

Every coder on your account is trained specifically in your specialty's coding rules, documentation requirements, and payer quirks. No generalists.

Quarterly Coding Audits

We audit every coder's accuracy quarterly. Any coder falling below 95% accuracy is immediately retrained and supervised. Your clean claims rate doesn't slip.

Continuous Payer Updates

We track payer policy changes, LCD updates, and code revisions in real time. When a payer changes a coverage policy for your specialty, we know before you do.

What practices like yours say after switching

We switched to RCMBillers after struggling with our previous biller for 2 years. Within 90 days our denial rate was cut in half and collections were up significantly. They know psychiatry billing — not just billing in general.

Practice ManagerPsychiatry PracticeDenial rate cut 50%+ in 90 days

The coding audit they did in the first month found $80,000 in undercoded procedures we had no idea about. That alone justified years of service fees.

Credentialing used to take us 4 months. RCMBillers completed 3 payer enrollments in under 4 weeks. We haven't had a credentialing delay since day one.

Common Questions

Frequently asked questions

Yes. We assign specialty-specific coders and billing specialists to each account. Your psychiatry charts are handled by team members who are trained, tested, and audited specifically in psychiatry billing — not generalists who work across dozens of specialties.
Most psychiatry practices see a measurable denial rate reduction within 30–45 days. The first 30 days focus on fixing front-end issues (eligibility, pre-auth) and appealing existing denials. By day 60, the structural changes are producing consistent improvements.
Yes — credentialing is included in our Professional and Enterprise plans. We handle CAQH ProView setup, payer enrollment, re-credentialing, and maintenance. Average payer enrollment time is 3 weeks — far faster than managing it in-house.
We integrate with all major EHR and practice management systems — including Epic, Cerner, Athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, Kareo, NextGen, Modernizing Medicine, and 40+ others. Integration is handled by our technical team and typically takes under 48 hours.
No setup fees. No long-term contracts. We operate on a 30-day cancellation policy and charge a percentage of collections only — typically 3–5% depending on specialty and volume. We earn when you earn.
