Supporting Mental & Behavioral Health Providers
At Apple Med Billing, we know that caring for mental and behavioral health patients is complex, personal, and often time-intensive. Providers dedicate themselves to helping patients manage conditions such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, ADHD, bipolar disorder, substance abuse, and more. But while you’re focused on delivering quality care, the billing process can become overwhelming.
That’s where we come in—our expertise in mental health and behavioral health billing ensures providers receive accurate and timely reimbursements without the stress of administrative complications.
Why Mental & Behavioral Health Billing is Unique
Billing in this specialty involves extra challenges compared to general medical billing:
Session-Based Billing
Services are billed by session length (30, 45, 60 minutes, etc.), requiring precise coding.
Wide Range of Services
From psychiatric evaluations and therapy sessions to group counseling and addiction treatment.
Provider Diversity
Psychiatrists, psychologists, counselors, and social workers all have different credentialing requirements.
Specialized Codes
Correct usage of CPT/ICD-10 codes is critical to avoid denials.
Telehealth Billing
The growth of online therapy requires compliance with payer-specific telehealth rules.
Insurance Barriers
Coverage limits, prior authorizations, and parity law considerations make reimbursement more complicated.
