Mental Health / Behavioral Health Medical Billing Services
Time-based psychotherapy, telehealth, and prior-auth billing for behavioral health.
Behavioral and mental health billing revolves around time-based psychotherapy codes, add-on services, and heavy prior-authorization and telehealth requirements. Payer rules vary widely and denials are common without specialized attention.
Doctrine Inc pairs AAPC/AHIMA-certified coders with payer-specific rules engines to deliver a 98.6% clean-claim rate for mental health practices. From claim scrubbing and submission to denial appeals and transparent reporting, we manage the full revenue cycle so your team can focus on patients — not paperwork.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you offer mental health medical billing services nationwide?
Yes. Doctrine Inc provides mental health / behavioral health medical billing and revenue cycle management to practices across all 50 US states. Our services are delivered securely and remotely, so your location is never a barrier to expert specialty billing.
What makes mental health billing different from general medical billing?
Behavioral health denials cluster around authorizations, visit limits, and time-based code errors. We track authorizations proactively and code psychotherapy sessions precisely so sessions get paid the first time.
How quickly can my mental health practice get started?
Most practices are fully onboarded within 24–48 hours. We integrate with your existing EHR/PM system and begin submitting clean mental health claims without interrupting your billing cycle.
How much does mental health medical billing cost?
We typically bill a transparent percentage of collections, so our incentives are aligned with yours — we only do well when you get paid. Contact us for a free, no-obligation revenue analysis tailored to your mental health practice.
