Psychologist Medical Billing & Credentialing Services

Maximize Reimbursements and Focus on Patient Outcomes with Oakview’s Expert Support

Psychologists provide essential mental health services—but when it comes to getting paid, the system is anything but straightforward. Insurance billing for psychologists often comes with confusing payer rules, denied claims, credentialing bottlenecks, and delayed reimbursements. That’s where Oakview Medical Billing Solutions comes in.

We specialize in billing and credentialing services for psychologists, offering tailored RCM (Revenue Cycle Management) support that ensures you get paid accurately and on time. Whether you're a solo licensed psychologist (Ph.D. or Psy.D.), a group practice, or working in an integrative behavioral health setting, Oakview has the experience and infrastructure to support your success.

Why Billing for Psychologists Is So Challenging

Even experienced mental health professionals can struggle with claim denials, eligibility checks, modifier confusion, and code changes. Here are common pain points we solve:

• Multiple Licensure Types: Psychologists often work alongside counselors, LCSWs, and psychiatrists—each with different billing rules and credentialing pathways.

• Authorization Requirements: Many insurance plans require pre-auths, re-auths, or treatment plans before approving claims for therapy or testing.

• Psych Testing Coding Confusion: CPT codes for psychological testing (like 96130–96133) require exact documentation, time tracking, and clinician qualifications.

• Out-of-Network Hurdles: Many psychologists operate out-of-network due to credentialing delays or plan limitations—causing cash flow instability.

• Time-Based Billing Complexity: Codes like 90837 (60-minute sessions) are highly scrutinized and often denied if documentation is insufficient.

• Denied Add-On Codes: 90863 (medication management) or 96127 (brief emotional assessments) frequently get denied if not billed correctly.
