In the last few years, the concern posed by mental health has taken
center stage, mainly after the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite the increase
in awareness about mental health issues, the practices of the field face
not only 23 percent less reimbursement than primary care but also
remain under-supported and overwhelmed with the billing and
reimbursement process.
Several factors make mental health billing difficult to handle for the
practices. The challenging billing rules often result in therapists refusing
to accept the insurance because many payers pose limitations and
restrictions on the claims. That’s why mental health usually requires a
nuanced plan of treatment. For instance, billing a therapy session is not
as straightforward as an annual lab test or wellness check. Let’s see
what all involves the mental health billing concerns:

How Is Mental Health Billing Different?
Mental health billing differs from medical health billing, impacting
reimbursements for mental health providers. The field of mental health
deals with the biology, emotion, and behavior of the person and how
they react to certain things in their everyday life. Often psychiatrists and
counselors treating mental health use different types of therapies,
methods, and drugs for a varying amount of time depending on the
patient’s requirements. Unfortunately, the timing provided by the payers
for treatment is different from the time taken by the practitioner. The
result is discrepancies in the mental health billing reimbursement
issues, and maybe even denial or rejection of the claim.

Some of the differences that mental health billing must consider to
ensure they have a successful claim, which is different from other
medical billing practices, are:
• Session Length
• Limits to Appointments
• Different Treatment Plans
• Pre-Authorizations
• Tele health
• Out-of-Network Providers
