Mental health providers deserve a billing partner that understands the clinical, regulatory, and payer-specific complexity of behavioral health. You can enhance the financial wellbeing of your mental health practice with Stream RCM. Double your mental health billing efficiency without doubling your effort. We begin with a free practice audit to uncover lost revenue. You pay only 2.9% of what you collect each month. We ensure nearly all claims are accepted on first submission, and we pursue every denial until full resolution.
We exist to help behavioral and mental health providers to run financially sustainable practices. Our billing team is trained exclusively in psychiatric, psychological, and addiction treatment billing, giving your practice access to expertise that directly translates into fewer denials, faster reimbursements, and a healthier revenue cycle from day one of our engagement.
From solo licensed counselors to multi-site psychiatric group practices, we understand how payer policies, documentation standards, and reimbursement structures differ across every provider type in behavioral health. That knowledge is built into every claim we submit on your behalf. From your first consultation, you will work with billers who already understand your specialty, your documentation needs, and your reimbursement landscape without a learning curve that costs you revenue.
We accurately bill psychiatric evaluations, medication management visits, and psychotherapy add-on codes, applying correct psychotherapy with-E/M split billing rules across all major commercial and government payer contracts your practice holds.
We managed age-appropriate CPT selection for pediatric psychiatric services, guardian documentation requirements, and Medicaid EPSDT mental health billing rules correctly for every minor treatment in your clinical setting.
We bill SBIRT, medication-assisted treatment, detoxification, and residential addiction services with accurate revenue codes and HCPCS assignments aligned to facility and professional billing requirements across all payer types.
Our team handles time-unit billing for CPT 96130–96146 testing services, correct professional versus technician component distinctions. We also manage payer prior authorization that protects reimbursement for extended psychological testing batteries.
We do complete ABA billing including functional behavior assessment, treatment protocol implementation, and supervision units, with accurate taxonomy selection and payer authorization tracking across home and clinic delivery settings.
Financial strength for mental health practices starts with billing, built for high-volume therapy and ongoing psychiatric medication management. Choose us for complete behavioral and mental health billing services. We are the best at what we do, and we will prove it by improving your revenue.
We confirm active coverage, mental health benefits, deductibles, and co-pay obligations before every encounter. We eliminate surprise denials to ensure your practice collects accurate patient responsibility amounts upfront.
Behavioral health services frequently require pre-authorization. Our team submits timely authorization requests, tracks approvals, and manages renewals so treatment continuity is never disrupted by authorization lapses or delays.
We prepare and submit clean claims with complete demographic data, correct CPT and ICD-10 codes, and required modifiers, increasing first-pass acceptance rates across all payers in your credentialed network.
Every denial receives a root-cause review followed by a structured appeal with supporting clinical documentation and payer-specific language. We recover revenue that most practices without dedicated billing support consistently forfeit.
We manage patient statements, payment plans, and balance follow-up with clear, compliant communication that protects the therapeutic relationship while recovering patient responsibility balances efficiently and professionally.
Our monthly practice performance reports show collection rates, payer mix, denial trends, and A/R aging. These give your leadership clear, actionable data to support financial planning and payer contract negotiations.
Our billing specialists are ready to assess your current revenue cycle and identify immediate improvement opportunities.
Outsourcing your billing for mental health services eliminates the three biggest drains on your practice: rising staff costs, constant compliance risks, and operational slowdowns. Insurer policies for session frequency, telehealth coverage, and intensive programming shift constantly across Medicare, state plans, and private carriers. Keeping up internally burns hours and money. When you partner with a specialized mental health billing company, you gain immediate access to certified experts who understand psychiatric reimbursement timelines, advance approval windows, and appeal strategies without months of recruiting or training. Your clinical team returns to patient healing while we manage visit limits, modifier rules, and insurer-specific documentation for urgent care codes. The outcome is undeniable. Practices that partner with us experience significantly fewer claim corrections and stronger approval rates for psychotherapy and telehealth submissions.
Individual therapy requires recorded start/end times and clinical justification for extended sessions. We ensure proper duration tracking and diagnostic linkage for commercial and Medicare submissions.
Psychiatric diagnostic interviews without medical components need complete history, mental condition examination, and care schedule documentation. We secure proper reimbursement for initial evaluations.
Urgent therapy requires immediate danger documentation and time-based coding. We manage same-day evaluation/management service indicators and insurer-specific urgent session frequency limits.
Group processing needs participant list documentation and facilitation records. We link appropriate diagnostic codes (depressive, anxious, addiction) and prevent service unbundling rejections.
State plan addiction treatment per hour requires jurisdiction-specific submission rules. We manage H-code indicators, income-based fee structures, and grant-funded service documentation.
