Psychiatry Billing Services
Behavioral health revenue cycle management built around time-based coding, authorization limits and payer-specific telehealth rules.
Behavioral health claims are denied for reasons that rarely affect other specialties: session-length thresholds, add-on psychotherapy codes, visit limits, carve-out payers and telehealth policies that change without notice. Our psychiatry billing services are built specifically for those rules.
Star Connect Automation manages the full cycle for psychiatrists, psychologists, therapists and behavioral health groups — verification, coding, submission, posting, appeals and AR recovery — so clinicians stay in session instead of on hold with payers.

Where behavioral health practices lose revenue
- Session time documented inconsistently with the code billed
- Authorizations expiring mid-treatment and sessions becoming non-billable
- Telehealth modifier and place-of-service errors after policy changes
- Carve-out payers billed to the wrong plan and denied as non-covered
- Patient responsibility never collected after deductible resets
- Aging AR abandoned because no one owns follow-up
Frequently asked questions
What is included in your psychiatry billing services?+
Eligibility and benefits verification, authorization tracking, time-based psychotherapy and E/M coding, claim submission, payment posting, denial management, appeals and AR follow-up — delivered as a complete revenue cycle management service for behavioral health practices.
Do you bill telehealth psychiatry visits?+
Yes. We apply the correct place-of-service codes and telehealth modifiers per payer policy, which change frequently in behavioral health and are a leading source of avoidable denials.
How do you handle session limits and authorizations?+
We track visit limits and authorization windows per patient and per payer, and flag renewals before sessions become non-billable so treatment continues without a revenue gap.
Can you support a solo psychiatrist or a small group?+
Yes. Our pods scale from a solo prescriber to multi-provider behavioral health groups, which is why we are often chosen as the medical billing company for small practices that need senior billers without full-time overhead.
