Mental Health Billing Is Different. Here’s How We Handle It.
Therapy billing doesn’t work like standard medical billing. Session-based codes, carve-out plans, and strict authorization rules create denials that generalist billers often miss. As a behavioral health billing company serving New York providers, we build our workflows around the way mental health care is actually delivered and paid.
- Session coding done right — 90837 for 60-minute sessions, 90834 for 45-minute sessions, 90832 for brief sessions, plus 90791 evaluations, 90846/90847 family sessions, and 90853 group therapy, matched to your documentation every time.
- Carve-out plan navigation — many employer plans route behavioral health benefits to separate managed behavioral health organizations with their own networks, fee schedules, and claim addresses. We identify the right payer and bill correctly the first time.
- Authorization management — ongoing therapy often requires prior authorization and concurrent reviews. We track authorization dates and remaining units so your sessions don’t go unpaid.
- Telehealth billing — we apply the correct modifiers and place-of-service codes for virtual sessions and stay current with each payer’s telehealth rules.
- Parity and medical-necessity denials — when payers question the medical necessity of continued care, we appeal with the clinical documentation they require.
Billing Pain Points We Solve for Therapy Practices
If any of these sound familiar, your billing process may be costing you revenue:
- Claims denied for missing or expired authorizations
- Eligibility surprises — patients whose behavioral health benefits differ from their medical benefits
- Slow or underpaid claims from behavioral health payers

Frequently Asked Questions About Mental Health Billing in Long Island
Do you bill for telehealth therapy sessions?
Yes. We bill telehealth sessions with the modifiers and place-of-service codes each payer requires, and we stay current with changing telehealth reimbursement rules so your virtual sessions are paid correctly.
Which therapy CPT codes do you handle?
We bill the full range of behavioral health codes, including 90791 diagnostic evaluations; 90832, 90834, and 90837 individual psychotherapy sessions; 90846 and 90847 family psychotherapy; and 90853 group psychotherapy — always matched to your documentation.
Can you work with carve-out behavioral health plans?
Absolutely. Many plans administer behavioral health benefits through separate managed behavioral health organizations. We identify the correct payer, verify carve-out benefits, and submit claims to the right place the first time.
Do you help therapists get credentialed with insurance companies?
Yes. Our credentialing support helps psychologists, social workers, counselors, and other behavioral health providers enroll with commercial payers so they can see in-network patients sooner.
What happens when a mental health claim is denied?
We work every denial: correcting coding or authorization issues, submitting appeals with supporting documentation for medical-necessity denials, and tracking denial patterns so the same problems don’t keep repeating.
