Substance Abuse / Addiction Treatment Medical Billing Services
ASAM level-of-care, IOP/PHP, and bundled billing for addiction treatment programs.
Substance abuse and addiction treatment billing spans multiple levels of care — detox, residential, PHP, IOP, and outpatient — each with distinct codes, authorizations, and payer rules. Getting level-of-care billing right is critical to program cash flow.
