Medical Billing Challenges in Psychiatry

Psychiatry billing and coding present unique challenges due to the complexity of the field. The codes are constantly evolving, with annual changes and payer policy updates that require constant attention. Staying up-to-date with these changes while providing quality patient care can be overwhelming for practices. Here are some common issues faced in psychiatric billing.

Complex Coding

Within the codes for psychiatry, there are many different codes for similar services. For example, you are required to enter a different CPT code to indicate whether an evaluation was done by a medical or non-medical provider. This makes it difficult for inexperienced coders to properly fill out claim forms because they are not able to remember all those details.
Add-on codes are also common, and are required, but can only be used with a primary code. Medical billing and coding experts must know what these codes are, so they can be sure that both are present, otherwise the claim will be denied.

Referrals are Usually Required

Patients will usually have to see a general practitioner to get a referral to see a psychiatrist, so it is important to make sure the referral has been filed with the payer prior to seeing the patient. Doctors’ offices often try to keep things simple for patients by referring to specialists in the same insurer’s network so treatment will be covered, which means that psychiatrists need to be credentialed with as many insurers as possible in addition to the government payers.
 

Complicated Rules for Coverage in Psychiatry Billing

The ACA requires mental health and substance use disorder services to be included in all Health Insurance Marketplace plans, but coverage varies significantly between plans. Medicare covers mental health under Parts A, B, and D, with each part having different rules for inpatient, outpatient, and prescription drug coverage. Supplemental insurance adds further complexity.
