When it comes to compliance for mental health services, you’ve got to pay extra attention to your billing and coding.
As compliance professionals, we need to be prepared. And that means learning new things all the time about anything related to compliance or healthcare. One day we might be reading about spinal infusions and the next getting a refresher course in B.F. Skinner. Today is the latter, folks, and we’re about to dive into the world of psychotherapy (therapy).
Join me for another episode of Compliance Conversations, where we chat about all things therapy. We cover a brief history and how it’s evolved into what we experience today. We dive into the difference between individual and family therapy and explain the different types of therapy like talk therapy, humanistic therapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy. And, of course, we dive into the compliance risks associated with therapy, too.
When it comes to compliance for mental health services, you’ve got to pay extra attention to your billing and coding. Steer clear of false reporting and using the incorrect CPT codes (accidentally or on purpose-no matter how wonderfully your client is improving). And, of course, be careful not to work more than twenty-four hours per day (on paper at least), and so much more.
