Offshore Behavioral Billing Services | Medical Billing Company - Info Hub

Millions of teenagers and adults in the United States struggle with behavioral health issues, with one in every five people (18 and older) who have a mental illness. Only about 45%, or about 20 million, of the approximately 44 million mature Americans with mental illnesses received mental health care the previous year.

Despite the growing demand for behavioral health services, professional providers find it increasingly difficult to compensate for their efforts fairly.

Enhance Your Revenue with ICS

Every year, billions of dollars are lost due to claims being dropped when they are denied or rejected. In-house behavioral health billers typically lack the expertise to quickly identify and correct the issue that resulted in the denial, so they simply let the claim expire unpaid. Otherwise, they would have spent more time sorting out a claim worth it in dollars.

Outsourcing behavioral health billing and coding to offshore medical billing companies like ICS is solely associated with revenue cycle management (RCM). You can rely on our behavioral health billing company’s expertise to ensure that all claims are filed correctly and on time. This can help you to avoid costly payment delays, thereby doubling your revenue.
