Psychiatry is a sensitive and complex medical specialty — and billing for mental health services comes with its own unique set of challenges. At Velora, we provide specialized billing and credentialing services tailored to the needs of psychiatric providers, ensuring clean claim submission, accurate reimbursement, and ongoing compliance with payer regulations.

Psychiatric billing often includes services such as psychiatric evaluations, medication management, psychotherapy (individual, group, or family), and telepsychiatry. Each of these has its own coding, time requirements, and payer-specific guidelines. Our billing experts are well-versed in CPT and ICD-10 codes specific to mental health, as well as the importance of documenting time spent, modality used, and diagnosis details.

One of the major challenges in psychiatric billing is managing pre-authorizations, especially for extended or intensive therapy sessions. Velora’s team proactively handles authorizations, eligibility checks, and coverage verification before services are rendered to reduce denials and payment delays.

Credentialing is critical in psychiatry, where providers often work across multiple settings — private practices, behavioral health centers, or telehealth platforms. Velora ensures your providers are fully credentialed and recredentialed with Medicare, Medicaid, and private payers, speeding up onboarding and maintaining continuity of payments.

We also support telehealth billing, which has become a cornerstone of modern psychiatric care. Our systems are equipped to manage billing for remote sessions while adhering to payer-specific telehealth regulations, including documentation and place-of-service codes.

By partnering with Velora, your psychiatric practice gains a team that understands the nuances of mental health billing and compliance. Our dedicated account managers, certified coders, and credentialing specialists work together to streamline your revenue cycle so you can focus on delivering critical care to your patients without financial distractions.
