Mental Health

Mental health billing focuses on therapy sessions, medical management, and psychological testing, with insurers imposing limits on session length and frequency. The American Psychological Association notes that mental health providers must use accurate ICD-10 codes, as unspecified diagnoses are often rejected by Medicare, per CMS guidelines. Billing differs from general medical billing, as it involves navigating Medicaid, Medicare, and private insurers, each with unique rules. Companies like Psychiatric Billing Associates offer full-service solutions, including claim processing and denial appeals, which QuantumX can emulate to support mental health practices in maintaining steady cash flow and focusing on patient care.
