INTRODUCTION
❏ With more people becoming aware of 
psychological problems and spending 
more money on psychiatry during the 
past ten years, the number of mental 
health experts and clinics has increased 
dramatically. Despite the growing need 
for mental health services, it is becoming 
increasingly more difficult for professional 
providers to receive fair compensation for 
their labor.
❏ In the US, millions of teenagers and 
adults struggle with behavioral health

Only around 45%, or 20 million, of the 
roughly 44 million mature Americans with 
mental illnesses in 2014 obtained mental 
health care in the previous year.
Mental Health Medical 
Billing
                       Understanding the concept of 
Mental Health Medical Billing:
● Medical billing includes submitting claims for the 
patient’s healthcare services. 
● Medical billing for behavioral health may be more 
challenging than for other healthcare specialties 
due to the specialty’s complexity. 
● Therefore, it is crucial to outsource medical billing 
services which are equipped with the proper 
knowledge, skills, and tools to enable your

Difference between Mental 
Health and Traditional Billing.
● Although difficult to understand, the 
assessment and treatment of mental illness 
play a critical role in a patient’s overall health. 
● As a result, psychiatrists and counselors deliver 
services very differently from other types of 
healthcare providers. 
● In comparison to other practices, the field of 
mental health also lacks a defined procedure. 
● The wide variety of services on offer is one of 
the causes of that.

● The majority of money spent on behavioral healthcare 
goes into treatment sessions, and insurance providers 
keep track of how many sessions take place each day 
and for how long. 
● Because of this, it is more difficult for clinicians to 
reconcile their medical care with a reliable and 
effective billing system which is why outsourcing 
medical billing is becoming popular.
● High claim denial rates are a result of budget 
restrictions, a lack of committed staff to modify billing 
codes for behavioral health, insurance limitations, and 
regulatory changes.

Why  Outsource Mental 
Healthcare Billing 
Here are the common signs, your 
mental healthcare billing should be outsourced:
1. The task of medical billing may be time-
consuming and frustrating for your 
administrative personnel. In addition to being 
time-consuming due to the ongoing training 
needed to stay current with regulatory 
changes, the procedure also takes important 
time off from their other specific duties.
2. Highht tppse://rwswown.mneedils ytsudrantao.cvome/rse drvuicees /tmoe daicdalm-bililninistrative 
stregs-sse rmvicaesy have a negative impact on the 
billing department. The time and money 
required to continually assemble and educate 
your staff will be wasted, which will slow down 
the processing of insurance claims.
1. Ineffective coding and billing procedures and lower 
insurance company reimbursements cause poor 
cash flow. Your administrative employees might not 
be knowledgeable or skilled enough to identify the 
problem’s core cause.
2. Healthcare providers require enough time to offer 
treatment to their clients, but because of the time-
consuming chore of coding and billing doctors have 
less resources to devote to their patients.
3. Incomplete payer credentialing, which they believed 
had already been taken care of by their internal 
staff. https://www.medisysdata.com/services/medical-billin
4. The pagt-sieernvicte ds emographics and insurance details 
were either incorrectly recorded or the payers’ 
benefits and coverage were never confirmed.
