Recommendations for Reliable Billing Services for Mental Health Providers?

[hepij]

Hi everyone,

I'm a licensed mental health provider running a small private practice, and I'm looking for a reliable billing service to help manage insurance claims, invoicing, and patient statements. I've been doing most of it myself, but it's become too time consuming and error prone.

I'm hoping to find a service that understands the nuances of mental health billing, including CPT codes and insurance panel rules.

Has anyone here used a billing company they trust? I'd love to hear about your experiences, good or bad, and any suggestions you may have for services that work well for solo or small group practices.

Hi there,
I've been in private practice for a few years now, and I totally understand how overwhelming billing can be. I switched to using TheraNest's billing service about a year ago, and it's made a big difference. They handle claim submissions, follow-ups, and even offer real-time insurance eligibility checks. Their team is familiar with mental health billing specifics like CPT codes and modifiers.

I've also heard great things about Kareo and SimplePractice if you're looking for more all-in-one practice management solutions with billing support included.

Just make sure to ask about their experience with your specific insurance panels before committing.

I've had a good experience with TheraNest's billing service. They understand mental health codes and handle insurance claims efficiently. If you're specifically looking into Psych Billing, SimplePractice is another solid option that combines billing with practice management. Kareo is also worth looking into.

Wow, that's a big one! Let me share my experience: in our pharma marketing team the usual bureaucratic mess was insane — approvals dragged on for 3–4 weeks and copy would get sent back 7 times for edits, until I read about cases from pharma and oh, in 2025 they're already cutting out the bottlenecks: MLR review cycles are sped up by 55%, legal edits by 65%, and that saves over 2M$ a year in wasted revisions and delays. Can you imagine how many nerves and hours that frees up? What about you guys — do you struggle more with slow feedback or is the process itself just too drawn out?
