Billing and Reimbursement for Mental Health
Billing Services
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.
Thats 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. Lets 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 patients
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.
