Streamline Billing for Your Psychology Practice
Psychology practices need accurate billing, timely claim submission, and consistent insurance follow-up to maintain a healthy revenue cycle. At Wisconsin Medical Billing, we help psychologists manage billing, coding, credentialing, and other essential revenue cycle tasks with professional psychology billing support.
Keep Your Psychology Practice Financially Organized
96% Clean Claim Submission Rate
- Reduced AR Days by Up to 30%
- Higher First-Pass Claim Acceptance
- Faster Denial Resolution
Turn Common Billing Obstacles into Better
Revenue Outcomes
Submit Clean Claims the First Time
Claim submission is delayed or rejected due to coding errors, incomplete/incorrect claims, payer eligibility questions and payer specific mandates. Our billing department is diligent in review of claim information before submission and pursues payers to ensure claims are processed promptly.
Address Denials Before They Affect Your Cash Flow
A denied psychology claim may involve further research, corrections, documentation and payer follow-up. We analyze denial reasons and try to clear up coding, authorization, eligibility and documentation issues that may lead to denials.
Let Your Staff Spend Less Time on Payer Calls
Insurance follow-up can pull time away from patient care and running your practice. We handle claim status requests, rejected claims, unpaid balances, and all payer communication so your staff has time to focus on the practice.
Keep Aging Receivables Under Control
Outstanding claims put unnecessary strain on your practice's cash flow. Our A/R team monitors aging accounts, chases unpaid claims and talks to payers to help recover every dollar for which you're eligible.
Make Psychology Billing Easier to Manage
You shouldn't have to spend your day correcting claims or chasing insurance payments. Our reliable psychology billing team handles essential revenue cycle tasks while helping your practice maintain an organized and consistent billing process.
Psychology Coding Goes Beyond Selecting
a Procedure Code
Psychologists may offer diagnostic evaluation and psychotherapy, testing, neuropsychological services and other behavioral health services. The proper code will be based on the service performed, documentation and time, provider qualifications and payer requirements. Our comprehensive psychology medical coding support helps practices review common services such as:
| Psychology Service | Common CPT Codes |
| Diagnostic evaluation | 90791 |
| Individual psychotherapy, 30 minutes | 90832 |
| Individual psychotherapy, 45 minutes | 90834 |
| Individual psychotherapy, 60 minutes | 90837 |
| Family psychotherapy without patient | 90846 |
| Family psychotherapy with patient | 90847 |
| Group psychotherapy | 90853 |
| Psychological testing evaluation | 96130, 96131 |
| Psychological test administration | 96136, 96137 |
| Neuropsychological testing evaluation | 96132, 96133 |
ICD-10-CM Coding Helps Establish the
Clinical Reason for Care
Accurate diagnosis coding is a critical component of psychology claim submission. The ICD-10-CM diagnosis must match the provider's documentation, and justify the medical necessity of the service billed. Typical behavioral health categories of diagnoses are:
| ICD-10 Code | Condition Category |
| F20.- | Schizophrenia and related disorders |
| F31.- | Bipolar and related disorders |
| F32.- / F33.- | Depressive disorders |
| F40.- / F41.- | Anxiety disorders |
| F42.- | Obsessive-compulsive disorders |
| F43.- | Trauma- and stressor-related disorders |
| F60.- | Personality disorders |
| F90.- | Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder |
| F10.- through F19.- | Substance-related and addictive disorders |
