Time is documentation

Behavioral health billing lives and dies on time-based accuracy and medical necessity language.

Train clinicians to document start/stop or total minutes that match the billed code family.

Telehealth and diagnosis pairing

Confirm telehealth POS/modifiers for therapy and psychiatry separately — they are not always identical.

Pair diagnoses that support the level of care without over-coding or under-specifying.

Specialty partners help

AccuMed’s behavioral health RCM workflows reduce unit errors and telehealth denials common to growing group practices.
