Common pitfalls
Where behavioral health claims go wrong
These are the errors we look for first when reviewing a practice in this specialty. If any sound familiar, a billing review will tell you what they are costing.
- Sessions delivered after an authorization lapsed, which are rarely recoverable on appeal.
- Time-based codes billed where the note records no start and end time.
- Intake assessments billed as therapy sessions.
