Medical billing built for behavioral health practices
Behavioral health billing turns on time-based psychotherapy codes, telehealth rules, and prior authorizations that vary by plan and carve-out. Quantix Health manages authorizations, session documentation, and payer-specific edits so clinicians are paid accurately for the time they deliver.
- Time-based psychotherapy codes (90832/90834/90837) matched to documented session length
- Telehealth place-of-service and modifiers aligned to each payer's current policy
- Prior authorization and unit tracking managed before sessions run out
Specialty expertise, not generic billing
Time-based coding
We match psychotherapy codes to documented session duration and add-on codes for E/M or crisis work so time is billed precisely and defensibly.
Authorization management
We obtain and track prior authorizations and remaining units so care continues without lapses or retroactive denials.
Telehealth compliance
Place-of-service codes and telehealth modifiers are kept current per payer to prevent avoidable rejections on virtual sessions.
Carve-out navigation
We route claims correctly when behavioral health is carved out to a separate managed behavioral health organization rather than the medical plan.
Where behavioral health practices lose revenue
These are the specialty-specific leaks we watch for — and fix at the root.
- Time-based psychotherapy codes billed without documentation supporting the session length
- Prior authorization lapses and unit exhaustion causing mid-course denials
- Behavioral health carve-outs routed to the wrong payer or managed behavioral health organization
- Telehealth place-of-service and modifier changes triggering rejections
- Add-on and E/M-plus-psychotherapy combinations miscoded or bundled
- Diagnosis and medical-necessity documentation gaps for ongoing therapy authorization

How do you handle prior authorizations for therapy?
We obtain authorizations up front and track remaining units per patient, alerting the practice before they run out so ongoing care is not interrupted or retroactively denied.
Do you code psychotherapy by session time?
Yes. We align 90832, 90834, and 90837 to documented session duration and apply add-on codes for crisis or concurrent E/M work, keeping time-based coding accurate and audit-ready.
Can you deal with behavioral health carve-outs?
We confirm whether services fall under the medical plan or a separate managed behavioral health organization and route each claim to the responsible payer to avoid misdirected denials.
