Revenue cycle performance depends on two functions working in lockstep: behavioral health billing — verification, clean claims, denial management, and collections — and payer contracting, where rate negotiation, credentialing, and network expansion determine what you are paid in the first place.

Specialized Verticals

RCM built for the specific realities of addiction treatment, substance abuse, and MAT programs.

Addiction Treatment Centers

ASAM level-of-care billing, concurrent authorization requirements for higher levels of care, and high payer scrutiny on medical necessity create denial exposure that structured RCM infrastructure directly addresses.

Substance Abuse Treatment Programs

Multi-level programs billing across outpatient, IOP, PHP, residential, and detox must maintain distinct workflows per level — with authorization requirements, documentation standards, and claim formats that vary significantly by payer.

MAT / MOUD Clinics

Medication-assisted treatment billing involves J-codes, E&M coding, behavioral health add-ons, and payer-specific MOUD coverage policies that create disproportionate denial volume without optimized billing workflows.

Mental Health & Psychiatry Practices

Therapy, psychiatric evaluation, and medication management billing each carry distinct authorization profiles and payer rules. Documentation-to-billing alignment is the most common RCM gap in mental health practices.

Co-Occurring Treatment Programs

Programs serving clients with co-occurring disorders must coordinate billing across mental health and substance use disorder services — managing dual authorization requirements and payer-specific coverage rules for integrated services.

Recovery Housing Operators

Recovery housing billing for ancillary and support services requires clear coordination with clinical programs, accurate coding for non-clinical support services, and payer-specific documentation of medical necessity.
