Uncovering Questionable Billing Practices By
Community Behavioral Health Centers
Community Behavioral Health Centers (CBHCs) play
a vital role in providing mental health and
substance use disorder services to low-income and
underserved communities. However, recent reports
suggest that some CBHCs engage in questionable
billing practices, putting them and their
patients at risk of legal troubles and financial
harm. As a leading medical billing service
provider, 24/7 Medical Billing Services has seen
first-hand how these practices can negatively
impact CBHCs bottom line and reputation.

Some of the most common questionable billing
practices by community behavioral health centers

• Upcoding- Upcoding is the practice of billing for
  a more expensive service than the one provided.
  For example, CBHCs billing for an hour-long
  therapy session when only 30 minutes were
  provided. 
• Unbundling- Unbundling is the practice of
  separating procedures that should be billed as a
  single service and billing them separately.
• Inadequate Documentation- Inadequate
  documentation is the practice of failing to
  properly document the services provided. CBHCs
  may do this to inflate the community behavioral
  health centers billing amount or to avoid
  providing proper documentation for services that
  were not provided.
