Behavioral Health Claims Getting Denied?

Here’s why it happens — and how YOU can fix it fast!

Arrow

U.S. providers lose over $262 billion annually due to claim denials — often caused by minor errors in behavioral health billing.

Denials Cost More Than You Think

Don’t bill MCO for services meant for Fee-for-Service plans. Check the Payer Table before submitting.

Not an MCO Covered Benefit

Denials happen if your taxonomy code doesn’t match the procedure. Keep credentials up to date.

Wrong Provider Specialty

Some CPT codes are only reimbursed from certain locations. Use approved POS codes.

Code & Location Mismatch

Exceeding unit limits or billing for non-covered services results in denial. Check SERI & HCA guides.

Exceeded Limits or Not Covered

– Verify eligibility & coverage – Match CPT & POS codes – Keep credentialing current – Confirm payer before billing
