Mental health billing requires specific codes for various types of treatment, such as therapy services, couples psychotherapy, family therapy, medication management, and inpatient care. Our team ensures accurate claims management and maintains a high clean claim percentage through our thorough verification process. Our billing specialists are highly familiar with the codes and regulations associated with mental health care, ensuring accurate claims that maximize reimbursement and reduce delays in payment.

We help verify active coverage and insurance coverage, including coverage for telehealth services. Our team handles all aspects of claims processing, from initial claim submission to monitoring claim status.
The mental health care sector is highly regulated, and providers must comply with various state and federal guidelines, such as HIPAA and 42 CFR Part 2, which governs the confidentiality of mental health patient records. Capture RCM stays up-to-date on all relevant regulations to ensure that mental health providers remain compliant with industry standards, reducing the risk of penalties, audits, and reputational damage.

Capture RCM’s UR services help providers assess the necessity of services and identify opportunities to improve care coordination and reduce unnecessary costs. By ensuring that services are medically necessary, UR supports optimal treatment outcomes while maintaining financial responsibility.

Capture RCM assists with the credentialing process, ensuring that mental health providers meet the necessary standards for participation in insurance networks.
