Behavioral health billing involves unique challenges such as frequent authorization requirements, session‑based billing models, varying payer rules, and strict documentation standards. Mental health services often face higher denial rates and longer reimbursement cycles compared to other specialties.
Accurate Medical Billing (AMB) provides end‑to‑end behavioral health billing and revenue cycle management services to help practices reduce denials, improve cash flow, and remain fully compliant with payer and regulatory requirements.
We manage the complete billing workflow—from patient registration and insurance verification to claims submission, payment posting, and reporting—so providers can focus on delivering quality patient care while we manage the financial operations.

Accurate collection and entry of patient demographics, insurance details, and required documentation to prevent errors at later stages.

Verification of active insurance coverage, policy details, and payer requirements before services are rendered.

Confirmation of patient benefits, deductibles, co-pays, and coverage limitations to avoid unexpected denials.

Complete recording of all billable services and procedures to prevent revenue leakage and under-billing.

Electronic submission of clean claims to insurance companies in a timely and compliant manner.

Accurate posting of payments from ERAs and EOBs to maintain transparent and up-to-date financial records.

Identification of denial causes, correction of errors, and submission of appeals to recover lost revenue.

Regular tracking and follow-up on unpaid or underpaid claims to reduce aging AR and improve cash flow.

Clear and timely patient statements along with support for resolving billing questions and outstanding balances.

Detailed performance reports covering collections, denials, reimbursements, and overall revenue trends.
Many mental health services require prior approval, and missing or expired authorizations can lead to claim denials.
Time‑based and session‑based services require precise documentation to ensure accurate reimbursement.
Behavioral health coverage varies significantly between insurers and plans, making consistent billing difficult without close monitoring.
Incomplete documentation or incorrect claim details often result in rejected or delayed claims.
Strict adherence to HIPAA and mental health privacy standards is required to protect patient data and avoid penalties.
For higher-collection practices, we offer volume-based discounts — as volume increases, the percentage can decrease. We’ll confirm the best-fit rate after a quick review.
Most practices fall in the 6%–12% range. Final pricing depends on volume, payer mix, specialty complexity, and current A/R and denial patterns, confirmed after a quick review of your last 60–90 days.
We prioritize electronic workflows to reduce cost and improve turnaround. If you request optional services outside standard billing, we scope and quote those items clearly up front—no surprises.
