Psychiatry Medical Billing & Credentialing Services

Streamlined Billing. Fast Reimbursements. Credentialing Support Tailored for Psychiatrists.

Psychiatrists face one of the most complex landscapes in healthcare billing. From nuanced psychiatric CPT coding and medication management billing to navigating time-based psychotherapy sessions and telepsychiatry regulations — getting paid accurately and on time requires precision, knowledge, and a strategic approach.

At Oakview Medical Billing Solutions, we specialize in helping psychiatrists and psychiatric practices eliminate billing bottlenecks, reduce denials, and get credentialed with payers smoothly. Whether you run a solo psychiatry practice, work within a group behavioral health setup, or provide services in hospitals or via telehealth, we offer full-service billing and credentialing that aligns with your unique needs.

Challenges in Psychiatry Billing & Credentialing

Psychiatric services require specific knowledge of coding combinations, session duration rules, and documentation nuances. Here are a few pain points many psychiatrists experience:

• Time-Based Codes with Psychotherapy Add-ons: Psychiatrists often bill for E/M codes (e.g., 99214) with psychotherapy add-ons (e.g., 90833). If not coded accurately with correct documentation, these claims are frequently denied.

• Telepsychiatry Billing Confusion: Reimbursement policies vary by payer and state, particularly post-COVID. Not using appropriate modifiers (e.g., GT, 95) or POS codes can result in payment issues.

• Medication Management Complexity: Billing for med management and therapy within the same session requires careful distinction between pharmacologic and psychotherapeutic services.

• Credentialing Delays: Most psychiatrists need credentialing across commercial plans, Medicaid, Medicare, and even VA/Tricare — each with its own timelines and compliance criteria.
