Billing Solution
Reposition the service as covered behavioral health psychotherapy by using correct CPT codes (90846/90847/90834) and documenting diagnosis, impairment, and treatment goals tied to a clinical condition.
Verify benefits before scheduling and flag authorization triggers for family therapy sessions to secure approvals before the claim is submitted.
Align ICD-10 diagnosis selection with psychotherapy CPT codes so the claim reflects a medically necessary behavioral health intervention.
Strengthen documentation with assessment findings, functional impairment, treatment goals, and progress notes that justify the service billed.
Apply correct POS codes (02 or 10), payer-specific telehealth modifiers, and documentation of modality and participant presence.
Identify third-party behavioral health administrators during eligibility verification to route claims to the correct payer.
