Billing for Large Group Mental Health Practices
Billing Advantage is your go-to resource for mental health billing. As the owners of our own psychotherapy practice, we have over 20 years of expertise handling the intricacies of medical billing within the mental health specialty. At Billing Advantage, we use that expertise to help our clients minimize loss and maximize profit.
Why Choose Billing Advantage for Large Group Mental Health Billing?
Large group mental health practices trust Billing Advantage for their billing needs because we grew out of our own psychotherapy practice. Donna Whipple and Rick Kaufman, the owners and founders of Billing Advantage, are both therapists. Donna is a psychologist, and Rick is a social worker. We run a 24-clinician group practice called Psychotherapy Associates of North Reading. Because of this experience, we are uniquely positioned to understand the needs of large group mental health practices and psychiatry practices.
We are very familiar with this type of billing, including carve-outs for mental health services, authorization requirements, confidentiality concerns, and more.
Also, as business owners of a mental health practice, we understand first hand the financial requirements of getting claims paid in a timely manner. That’s why we work with you to ensure that there are efficient systems to get all the claims submitted in a timely manner and to handle any issues that arise that could delay payment.
We allow you and your clinicians to concentrate on the clinical work while we take care of making sure that you get paid for your work.
