ABA Therapy & Mental Health Billing Specialist | RCM Expert

ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis) therapy and Mental health practices lose thousands of dollars every month — not because of bad providers, but because of denied claims, missed authorizations, and billing errors that go unnoticed. I fix that. With 7+ years of experience in US healthcare billing and RCM, I specialize in ABA therapy and mental health billing — from H-code submissions and BCBA credentialing to mental health CPT coding and prior auth workflows that actually get approved. In a recent engagement, I helped a behavioral health practice increase collections by 28% by identifying and correcting denied CPT/ICD combinations and rebuilding their authorization process from the ground up. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🧠 ABA & MENTAL HEALTH EXPERTISE: ✔ ABA Billing — H-codes (H0031, H2019, H0032 & 97151, 97152, 97153, 97154, 97155, 97156, 97157 and 97158) ✔ Mental Health CPT Codes — 90837, 90834, 90791, 90847 also (99203 to 99205) and 99212 to 99215) ✔ Prior Authorization for ABA — Medicaid & Commercial Payers ✔ BCBA / BCaBA Credentialing & Payer Enrollment ✔ Autism Waiver & Medicaid Billing ✔ Mental Health Claim Denials & Appeals ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 💼 FULL-CYCLE RCM SERVICES: ✔ Eligibility & Benefits Verification (VOB) ✔ Prior Authorization & Referral Management for ABA and surgeries. ✔ Medical Billing — ICD-10, CPT, HCPCS ✔ Claims Submission & Payment Posting ✔ AR Follow-Up & Denial Management ✔ ERA / EFT Setup & Credentialing ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 💻 SOFTWARE I WORK WITH: Passage health .
