California Behavioral Health Billing Services Across Complex Payment Pathways
Each service is handled according to the payer responsible for reimbursement and the clinical care represented on the claim.
Coverage & Payer Identification
Confirm active benefits and determine the correct payer pathway before billing, especially when responsibility differs between Medi-Cal, county, and commercial coverage.
Authorization & Medical Necessity
Track approvals, effective dates, service limits, and supporting documentation for behavioral health services that require payer authorization.
CPT & HCPCS Claim Accuracy
Check ICD-10-CM, CPT/HCPCS, modifiers, POS, units, and time-based behavioral health services against the clinical record before submission.
Medi-Cal & County Claim Routing
Direct applicable claims through the correct Medi-Cal, Mental Health Plan, DMC-ODS, or commercial billing pathway based on service and payer responsibility.
Payer Denials & Reconsiderations
Use CARC/RARC responses to determine why claims failed and move eligible balances through correction, reconsideration, appeal, or escalation.
Remittance & Underpayment Recovery
Reconcile 835 ERAs, contractual adjustments, short payments, and unpaid balances to identify revenue that still requires payer action.
Integrated Revenue Workflows for Behavioral Health Billing
Clinical and financial data should not live in disconnected systems. THG works across EHR, PM, clearinghouse, ERP, and reporting platforms so you can trace charges, remittances, adjustments, and payer balances without unnecessary manual reconciliation.

What California Behavioral Health Organizations Value About THG
Organizations need to know more than which claims are unpaid. They need to understand the cause, the financial impact, and the action being taken to recover reimbursement.
We lost time trying to understand why similar claims followed different payment paths. THG mapped the payer and claim-routing issues, corrected the workflow, and gave us better visibility into where each unpaid balance actually belonged.
Dr. Rachel Kim
Psychiatrist
Our biggest issue was documentation and coding not always matching the service billed. THG strengthened the pre-submission checks around time, CPT codes, modifiers, and supporting documentation, which reduced the amount of correction work after claims reached the payer.
Dr. Anthony Rivera
Clinical Psychologist
Several payers produced repeated denials, but no one was tracking the patterns. THG grouped denials by root cause, corrected recurring billing issues, and helped us focus appeals on claims with a clear path to recovery.
Dr. Sophia Chen
Behavioral Health Medical Director
Our A/R report showed the balances, but not what was stopping payment. THG separated payer delays, documentation requests, underpayments, and denied claims, then assigned the right follow-up action to each account. That gave our team much better financial visibility.
Dr. Michael Torres
Addiction Medicine Physician
Underpayments were being posted without enough follow-up. THG started reconciling remittances against expected reimbursement, identifying short payments, and escalating discrepancies. The process gave us a much clearer picture of what had actually been paid versus what was still owed.

Where California Behavioral Health Reimbursement Can Lose Value
Medi-Cal, county billing pathways, and commercial carriers can apply different rules for authorization, claim routing, documentation, and reimbursement.
Where Payment Gets Stuck
Incorrect Payer Path
A valid claim reaches the wrong billing entity or reimbursement channel.
Medical Necessity Support
The service is billed correctly, but required clinical support is incomplete.
What THG Tracks
Confirm Billing Responsibility
Strengthen Claim Support
Reconcile Expected Reimbursement
Prioritize High-Value Balances
Escalate Payment Variances
Turn Monthly Billing Numbers Into Clearer Revenue
Compare monthly charges with actual collections to get a high-level view of collection performance. A wider variance may reflect contractual adjustments, payer delays, underpayments, patient balances, or unresolved A/R that needs closer analysis.
