Why Behavioral Health Billing Is Different
Psychotherapy Add-On Codes
Billing 90833, 90836, and 90838 as add-ons to E/M codes requires precise time documentation and separate MDM. Most practices lose these add-ons entirely due to documentation gaps.
Parity Law Compliance
Mental Health Parity law requires insurers to cover behavioral health at parity with medical benefits. When a payer denies based on medical necessity, knowing parity rules is essential to winning the appeal.
Collaborative Care Management (CoCM)
CPT codes 99492, 99493, and 99494 cover the psychiatric consultant's time in collaborative care models — but only with proper tracking of patient contacts and registry management.
Prior Authorization Burdens
Behavioral health prior auths are complex and frequently denied on first submission. Without a dedicated follow-up process, these claims simply age out and become write-offs.
