Why psychiatry is different
Psychiatry billing turns on time thresholds and add-on rules — bill a 90837 that documents like a 90834, or an E/M without the right psychotherapy add-on, and it denies or invites an audit.
We code psychotherapy to documented time, pair E/M with the correct add-on psychotherapy codes, handle diagnostic evaluations and crisis codes, and get telehealth place-of-service and modifiers right for every payer.
What our psychiatry billing covers
- Psychotherapy coded to documented time (90832 / 90834 / 90837)
- E/M with add-on psychotherapy (90833 / 90836 / 90838)
- Diagnostic evaluations (90791 / 90792) and crisis codes (90839)
- Telehealth place-of-service and modifiers set per payer
- Session-limit prior authorizations tracked so care is not interrupted
- Interactive complexity and group therapy captured where documented
Credentialing for psychiatry

- Medicare (PECOS) & Medicaid enrollment for every provider
- Commercial payer paneling matched to your patient mix
- CAQH build, attestation & ongoing maintenance
- Revalidations and re-credentialing tracked before they lapse
- Behavioral-health panel enrollment, including appealing closed panels
