Our Story

Built specifically for behavioral health billing

A specialty, not a side service

Mental Health Billing is the behavioral health division of A2Z Billings, a Michigan-based medical billing company. Psychiatry, therapy, and behavioral health claims run on rules general medical billers don't always track closely: time-based CPT codes, telehealth modifiers, prior authorization for extended sessions, and level-of-care documentation for PHP, IOP, and residential treatment.

Focused since 2021

Our team works inside behavioral health billing exclusively — verifying benefits before the first session, coding therapy and psychiatric visits to the correct time and complexity level, and following up on the claim types that get denied most often in this specialty.

Backed by a larger team

Because we operate under A2Z Billings, practices get the focus of a behavioral-health-only team with the infrastructure of a larger medical billing company behind it.

Who this is for

  • Solo therapists and psychiatrists
  • Group and multi-provider practices
  • PHP, IOP, and residential programs
  • Inpatient psychiatric units
  • Telehealth-only behavioral health practices
What Guides Our Work

Four things we don't compromise on

Coding Precision

Every claim is coded to the correct CPT time bracket and modifier before it leaves our office — not corrected after a denial comes back.

Confidentiality First

Behavioral health records carry extra sensitivity. PHI is handled under HIPAA-aligned workflows, with access limited to your assigned team.

Behavioral Health Only

We don't split attention across unrelated specialties. Psychiatry, therapy, PHP, IOP, and residential billing is the whole job.

Nationwide, Direct Access

Practices in all 50 states work with a named billing contact, not a rotating support queue.

How We Work

Three steps from onboarding to paid claims

01

Practice Assessment

We review your workflows, specialties, and payer mix, collect the documents we need, verify provider credentials, and configure billing software without disrupting claims already in progress.

02

Accurate Coding

Certified coders match documentation to the correct CPT and ICD-10 codes, including time-based psychotherapy codes and telehealth modifiers, before claims go out.

03

Payment Posting & Follow-Up

We track every claim, post payments as they arrive, work denials until they're resolved, and report performance back to your practice.

Compliance & Security

Handled the way behavioral health data should be

Psychiatric and therapy records are among the most sensitive data a practice holds. Our workflows are built around that from the start.

HIPAA-aligned safeguards

PHI is transferred and stored using HIPAA-aligned practices at every step of the claims process.

Limited, need-to-know access

Only the coders and billers assigned to your account can see your practice's claims and records.

Business Associate Agreement

A signed BAA is available on request before any data is shared with our team.

Why Practices Partner With Us

What changes once we take over billing

Fewer denials, caught before submission instead of appealed after the fact.

Faster reimbursement through clean-claim submission and active AR follow-up.

One named point of contact for your account, not a rotating support queue.

Backed by A2Z Billings' broader medical billing infrastructure and staff.

Common Questions

FAQ

What makes mental health billing different from general medical billing?

Behavioral health claims rely heavily on time-based CPT codes such as 90837 and 90847, telehealth modifiers, and documentation for levels of care like PHP and IOP. Coding and follow-up need to track these details closely, which general billing teams don't always do.

Do you work with solo practitioners or only larger practices?

Both. We support solo therapists and psychiatrists as well as multi-provider behavioral health clinics, inpatient units, and residential programs.

How is our practice and patient data protected?

PHI is handled under HIPAA-aligned safeguards, with access limited to the billing staff assigned to your account and a Business Associate Agreement available on request.

Which states do you serve?

We work with behavioral health practices in all 50 states.

How long does onboarding take?

Onboarding starts with a practice assessment covering your current workflows, payer mix, and software, so we can configure billing without disrupting claims already in progress.
