Mental Health Billing Services We Specialize in Include
Our dental mental health billing services helps you to make your mental health billing more streamlined and better managed:
Claims Processing
We start our process by gathering critical patient data like patient demography and insurance coverage details. We organize the document in accordance with the insurer’s standard practice. This ensures accurate documentation and also determines the active status of the insurance coverage. We provide information on co-insurance, co-payment, and deductibles. We back up our data transaction with robust network security protocols. Our team of experts track aging reports, revenue cycle, and other relevant KPIs to ensure seamless billing. We also support automatic crossover and secondary claims filing.
Payment Posting
We track all the invoiced charges that patients owe to a psychiatric consultant. After receiving the service reimbursements from the patients and the insurer, we post the payment on your medical billing system for claims reconciliation. Following this, all the necessary payment adjustments and transfers are made to the secondary payers. Our efficient payment posting solution ensures that all the collectibles in the billing system are tracked. The stored payment details can be accessed any time for future reference.
Follow-up and Claim Appeals
Instances of a partial payment or a delay is quite common, but we help you avert it. We constantly follow up with insurers to inquire about the claim status. Upon finding the reason for denial, our AR specialists help you file a claim appeal. Our experts provide you updates constantly on every stage of the submitted claims and denied claim files. This unburdens your practice from the worry of getting a full reimbursement for the services you have provided.
Patients’ Benefits Verification
Prior to a patient’s visit, we communicate with insurance providers to check the status of the patients’ coverage. We tally the coverage information provided by patients to the data provided by insurers to determine the coverage validity. This also helps us to understand the kind of services that are covered. We then communicate the list of benefits to the mental healthcare providers to help customize a health plan as per the benefits. Out of pocket expenses, visit limits, deductibles, and other such details are conveyed to the patient before they visit. This helps them avoid any surprise fee in the invoice.
Patient Billing
We send out invoices on our client’s behalf to patients through direct mail or an email. We update them about the bills over a call and even resolve queries related to their account and billing. Our team send out payment reminders routinely to patients who delay on payment. We send dunning letters requesting them to clear all the dues through our referred licensed collection agency approved by you.
Digital Data Management
Our digital data management service helps mental health service providers to access and track all the unresolved claims, payment balances, and financial reports anytime and anywhere. In case you are too busy to communicate about these data over an email, we facilitate you with a secure access to our digital system. You can access and view all the KPIs within a single dashboard.
Reporting and analysis
We create multiple reports after the completion of a monthly billing cycle. These reports enlist total payments received and charges for an entire year till date. These reports can be leveraged to determine and analyze payment trends. This will help you to identify areas in your service plan that can be improved to maximize revenue generation.

Know What Our Clients Have to Say About Us
Troy Robinson Director of Operations, Psychiatric Consultation Clinic, Boston
"Our previous experience with a third-party billing services vendor was far from being satisfactory. Communication was the biggest issue. We missed important updates on our claim status. Overcoming our initial inhibition, we availed Mental health billing services from MedBillingExperts. Since then, our journey had been extremely valuable for our accounts and our operation. They exhibited proactivity in following with our claim status and chasing after late payers to clear their dues on time. This helped our core medical team to take their head out of the administrative tasks and focus on medical care."
Stacy Stevenson Chairman, Mental Health Center, North Carolina
"It will not be an exaggeration to say that MedBillingExperts had turned around our entire mental health billing system. Their experts had handheld us through our billing system issues. Now we see better numbers in our collection and lesser account receivables. We have taken cues from their organized process flow to apply on our other administrative functions. Their constant help had unburdened our front-end staff from critical medical billing tasks and focus on what they are good at. We are looking for a long and an endearing partnership with MedBillingExperts."
