Psychology billing services involve coding, submitting, and managing insurance claims for mental health services, such as therapy sessions, psychological evaluations, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and telehealth consultations. Proper billing ensures accurate reimbursements from insurers, Medicare, and Medicaid.

Some key challenges include:

• Understanding insurance coverage limits for therapy sessions
• Using the correct CPT codes for different therapy durations and evaluations
• Managing prior authorizations for extended therapy or neuropsychological testing
• Ensuring compliance with mental health parity laws to prevent denials

To minimize claim denials, psychology providers should:

• Use accurate CPT codes for therapy (e.g., 90837 for a 60-minute session)
• Verify insurance benefits before providing services
• Ensure thorough documentation of medical necessity
• Follow payer guidelines on session limits and coverage
