How do We Handle Psychiatry Billing Claim Submission?

At Dastify Solutions, we combine powerful technology with billing brains. Our experts hold AHIMA/CPC certifications, so your claims & compliance are never at risk.

First-Pass Accuracy, Not Rework

Clean claims start with clinical accuracy, not just data entry. At Dastify, our mental health billing experts ensure every claim is correct from the start:

Concurrent Coding: mental health services are coded as they are documented, to avoid errors.
Provider Credential Checks: We confirm the CPT code matches the provider's license, scope of practice, and state regulations.
Clinical Verification: Session notes and rendered services are reviewed on our end to ensure the claim reflects the actual care provided.
Error Prevention Before Submission: To maintain a first pass rate, we identify and fix mismatches or missing information immediately, preventing denials before submissions.

Precision Coding for Psychotherapy, Crisis & Group Sessions

At Dastify, we understand that mental health billing is not one-size-fits-all. Our experts apply specialty-specific coding logic that generic psychiatry billing companies often neglect.

Time-Based Psychotherapy Codes: We carefully select 90832, 90834, and 90837 based on the actual session duration.
E/M + Psychotherapy Add-Ons: For psychiatrists, we apply the correct combination codes (e.g., 99213 + 90833) to capture both evaluation and therapy services without errors.
Revenue Capture for Complexity: Apply G2211 for established patients to reflect longitudinal chronic care management and maximize per-visit revenue.
2026 Virtual Supervision: We use the updated CMS definition of 'Direct Supervision,' enabling compliant billing for auxiliary personnel even when the supervising psychiatrist is off-site.
Crisis & Group Therapy: Our team ensures accurate billing for 90839 (crisis intervention) and 90853 (group therapy), so no billable service is left unclaimed.

Rules-Based Claim Scrubbing Engine

We go beyond basic data entry to ensure every claim is clean, compliant, and optimized for approval:

Taxonomy Codes: We verify that the provider's taxonomy code is correct at the header level of the 837P claim.
RPA (Robotic Process Automation): Our RPA engine runs 150+ validation rules against your claims, catching taxonomy mismatches and MIPS reporting gaps before the payer ever sees the claim.
Incident-to Billing: Services delivered by non-physician practitioners under a psychiatrist's NPI require strict adherence to CMS rules.
Cross-Over Claims: Dual-eligible patients often require crossover processing between Medicare and Medicaid. Our team ensures these behavioral health claims are handled accurately.
