Challenges
What makes mental health billing hard
Session-based billing
Psychotherapy codes depend on session length, and documentation must support the time billed.
Authorization limits
Plans approve a set number of sessions; visits past the limit go unpaid.
Patient balances
Copays and deductibles recur every session and add up quickly.
Clinician credentialing
Each therapist must be enrolled with each payer before seeing its members.
