HLS Billing Services does much more than submit claims. Iwe offer a comprehensive system that handles every step of the revenue cycle, from patient intake to final payment. Here’s what to look for:
Accurate Coding: Behavioral health CPT codes (e.g., 90837, 90791, H0031) and ICD-10 diagnoses must be selected carefully. A billing service well-versed in psychiatric billing services ensures correct code use and modifier application.
Eligibility and Benefits Verification: Before a patient walks into your office, their mental health coverage and session limits should be verified. This prevents surprises and protects your revenue.
Authorization Management: For many services, especially psychiatry and intensive programs, payers require pre-authorization. Your billing team should track these requirements and renew them as needed.
Claim Submission and Denial Management: Filing clean claims isn’t always enough. A good behavioral health billing company will monitor rejections, follow up on denied claims, and resubmit with proper corrections, maximizing your collections.
Compliance and Privacy: HLS Billing Services understands the compliance framework unique to behavioral health, including HIPAA ensuring data is handled legally and ethically.
Reporting and Analytics: Providers should receive regular, easy-to-read reports showing payments, outstanding claims, denials, and trends, helping them make data-driven decisions.
