Time-based E/M codes, telepsychiatry modifier rules, medication management vs. psychotherapy split — psychiatry billing has rules that most billing companies get wrong. Ours don’t.
Psychiatry is one of the most nuanced specialties in medical billing. The shift from 90801 to the 90791/90792 framework, the time-based documentation requirements for 90832–90838, the telepsychiatry POS 10 vs. 02 distinction, the parity law compliance documentation — each of these is a billing landmine for non-specialist billers. Our psychiatry billing team knows every one of them.
Psychiatry Billing Services
What We Handle for Psychiatry Practices.
E/M and Psychotherapy Coding
Accurate time-based coding for individual, group, family therapy. Split/shared visit rules for when therapy is billed same-day as E/M services.
Telepsychiatry Billing
POS 10 (patient home) vs. POS 02, modifier 95 vs. modifier GT, audio-only billing under PHE extensions, and parity law compliance verification by state.
Medication Management
99213–99215 with add-on psychotherapy codes, medication management documentation review, and E/M level optimization for complex patients.
Parity Law Compliance
We ensure your claims trigger parity protections where applicable and appeal any denial that appears to apply non-equivalent limitations to mental health services.
Group Practice Billing
Multi-provider psychiatry group billing, supervising vs. billing provider rules, LCSW/LPC incident-to billing, and supervised trainee billing.
Denial Management
Mental health-specific denial patterns — prior auth denials, medical necessity denials, timely filing — worked by our behavioral health denial specialists.
“Psychiatry billing is its own world — telepsychiatry codes, time-based modifiers, payer-specific mental health parity rules. Billr’s team knew our codes better than our in-house biller did after 3 years.”
