3. Use the Right Billing Form.
You will probably come across two billing forms in 
Behavioral health billing: UB-04 and CMS-1500, often known 
as Form HCFA. Physicians will fill out the CMS-1500; and in 
case of front-desk staff, they will fill out the UB-04 form. Your 
tax identification number (TIN) and national provider 
identifier (NPI) should be handy.
4. Conduct a VOB
Verifying your patient’s benefits at the beginning could save 
hours of work later on. Your consumers will be more 
prepared to pay you on time when they are aware of the 
inclusions and exclusions of their insurance coverage.
