The Process of Mental Health Coding and Billing
Patient eligibility verification
The first thing that needs to be done to bill mental health is to check with the insurance company to determine the patient’s benefits. This can be done through insurance company and forwarding demographic information and the policy number. As a reminder, it is important to note that not all insurance plans cover mental health billing services.
Medical Coding
Mental health services require accurate billing coding to produce the correct charges. The coding services are also important since the payers use the codes assigned to determine the amount to be paid to the provider. Accuracy in coding not only assists in achieving appropriate payment but also assists in billing law compliance.
Claims Submission
The next step after Mental health coding is a submission of claims to the insurance company of the patient. It can be done either through electronic or paper submission. In the case of electronic submission, a clearing house must be used by the provider. Claims clearinghouses are different from the payer or even the provider and help in submitting more accurate claims.
Denials and Rejections
Mental health claims need to be denied or rejected by payers, particularly where the services are not coded appropriately. It means that inaccurate coding or incomplete provider documentation can result in claims denial. In any case, where a claim has been denied or rejected, the provider has to engage the payer in resolving the matter. It usually requires the furnishing of other documents or filing of a new, corrected claim to sort out the problem.
Reimbursement
The provider will get paid after the payer has paid for a mental health claim. The payment amount varies with the contract between the provider and the payer. Some of the payers employ fee schedules indicating the highest sum that they are willing to offer for a given type of service.
