Behavioral Health Billing Services

Maximizing claim efficiency and compliance for superior revenue management

  • Behavioral Medicine physicians face unique billing challenges due to the field’s integration of biological, psychological, behavioral, and social dimensions of care. This complexity makes accurate coding and reimbursement more demanding than in many other specialties.
  • With limited time and increasing administrative burdens, physicians often struggle to manage the intricate billing process—risking delayed payments, denials, and lost revenue.
  • Gedeihen Healthcare bridges this gap with precision-driven RCM solutions, allowing providers to navigate interdisciplinary billing with confidence while staying focused on patient care.


In today’s evolving healthcare landscape, precision in billing is essential — especially when it comes to behavioral medicine. Accurate application of Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes ensures timely reimbursements, regulatory compliance, and improved revenue cycle performance.


Commonly Utilized Behavioral Medicine CPT Codes:

90791 – Psychiatric diagnostic evaluation (no medical services)

90792 – Psychiatric diagnostic evaluation with medical services

90832 / 90834 / 90837 – Individual psychotherapy (30, 45, 60 minutes respectively)

90846 / 90847 – Family or couples therapy (without/with the patient present)

96130 / 96131 – Psychological testing evaluation services

96136 / 96137 – Test administration and scoring by professional staff




Occupational health professionals operate at the intersection of clinical medicine, workplace safety, and organizational psychology—making their billing needs both specialized and complex. Managing administrative tasks such as claim accuracy, regulatory compliance, and reimbursement tracking often diverts attention from patient care, leading to claim denials, payment delays, or under-coding. Our certified billing experts are proficient in advanced platforms like Epic, Cerner, and NextGen, ensuring accurate use of CPT, HCPCS, and ICD coding standards. From initial claim submission to denial resolution, we optimize each step to reduce :


  • Accelerated Revenue Cycles: Efficient claims processing with reduced errors and faster payments.
  • Operational Efficiency: Freedom for providers to concentrate on workforce health and wellness outcomes.


Added Value:

Our streamlined billing workflows enhance the patient experience, strengthen provider referral networks, and create opportunities for clinical research and program development within the field of occupational medicine.


Rehab billing, a complex segment of behavioral health, faces challenges such as unclear insurance coverage and frequent partial reimbursements. Providers must navigate stringent procedural rules, where errors often result in delayed or denied claims.

Gedeihen Healthcare streamlines this process through comprehensive rehab billing solutions—from precise insurance verification to claim submission and follow-up—reducing denials and accelerating payments. We offer flexible service models tailored to optimize workflows and revenue management, whether as an in-house enhancement or fully outsourced solution.
