And yeah — it’s in Vegas at Caesars Palace, so we’re doing it right.

📢 Medical Biller (Behavioral Health) positions:

Echo Billing Solutions is always looking for a critical thinker and seasoned biller to join our close-knit team in the Chicagoland area as an experienced medical biller specializing in mental health billing. We have rock-star clients & are more than "just the biller." We support the entire RCM process by helping our offices with appropriate billing, patient issues, as well as guidance with commercial/government policies and guidelines.

This is a remote position, but candidates must have a private, HIPAA-compliant workspace.

What we’re looking for:

• Proven experience in medical or behavioral health billing.
• Strong understanding of the full RCM cycle (from claim submission through payment & follow-up).
• Knowledge of telehealth billing rules & payer nuances
• Familiarity with the regulatory landscape in mental health or willingness to learn.
• Strong verbal and written communication skills.
• Ability to work in what we like to call an “organized chaos” environment.
• Detail-oriented, reliable, and able to work independently.

Position details:
• Part-time or Full-time (preferred)
• Remote (U.S-based, Chicagoland area preferred, but will consider IA, IN, NE, TN, KY & FL) ABSOLUTELY WILL NOT CONSIDER NON-U.S. BASED applicants.

If you’re someone who truly understands the complexity of behavioral health billing, and takes pride in doing it right, and has a growth mindset, we’d love to connect.

Big plus if you have contracting, credentialing & contract negotiation experience. Also, experience using TherapyAppointment.com or CollaborateMD.

📩Please fax your resume to 312-488-4080 or DM for consideration.

For healthcare organizations and billing companies, this raises serious concerns around:

• Data security
• Identity verification
• HIPAA compliance and potential PHI exposure

A strong reminder that hiring and vendor vetting processes matter more than ever.

**📢 Update: Virginia HB1462 (Supervised Billing)
FAILED & WILL NOT MOVE FORWARD in the 2026 session. **

Virginia lawmakers are currently considering HB1462, a bill that could impact how behavioral health services are billed when care is provided by clinicians working under supervision. The bill would:

• Allow a licensed provider to bill for services performed by a supervised, pre-licensed clinician.
• Apply to services provided under the supervision of an appropriately licensed professional.
• Bring Medicaid policy more in line with the training model many behavioral health practices already use.

Here at Echo Billing Solutions, we’re closely following this legislation and hoping for a positive outcome.

DME Billers: This is a big one...

For the first time ever, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has issued a nationwide moratorium on new Medicare enrollments for DMEPOS suppliers.

We’ve seen targeted moratoria before in certain cities & counties, but never across the entire country at once.

The moratorium will last 6 months and is aimed at addressing fraud, waste, and abuse patterns CMS has identified within the DMEPOS space.

If you’re in DME, credentialing, or Medicare enrollment, this is not a small policy update. We are entering a phase where compliance posture matters more than ever

Nationwide actions like this don’t happen casually.

If you’re billing under a virtual address such as a UPS Store in Box 32 of the CMS-1500, this is your reminder that it is NOT compliant.

That means the actual physical location where the services were rendered must be reported.

Not A UPS Store, Not a virtual office, Not a PO Box, & Not your billing company’s address. It must reflect the true brick-and-mortar site (or the physical practice location tied to telehealth services when applicable).

Payers use Box 32 to validate place of service. It impacts credentialing alignment. It affects network participation and audits. Mismatched addresses can trigger denials, requests for records, or compliance issues.

In a time when payers are tightening audits and validating provider data across PECOS, NPPES, and claim submissions, this is not a small detail.

Compliance isn’t just about codes. It’s about accuracy in every field.

🐱 Meanwhile at Echo Billing Solutions...

Lovie Dovey & Whiskers are over here waiting (very patiently… kind of) for certain insurance companies to decide how they’re processing claims in 2026. New edits? Updated fee schedules Clear guidance? 👀 Anyone? 👀

So for now, we’re refreshing clearinghouses, checking portals, listening to hold music… and pretending this is totally normal.
Good thing TEAM EBS doesn’t wait around. We adjust, appeal, and keep moving. 💪

📣 CMS announcement for specialty practices treating heart failure & low back pain episodes. The Ambulatory Specialty Model (ASM) is a new mandatory value-based model starting in 2027. It targets select specialists treating heart failure and low back pain, tying Medicare payments to quality, outcomes, and total cost of care instead of volume.
