Missing a prior authorization can cost your practice more than time. It can cost you money.
Mental health providers: Before you render services, make sure you know your payer’s authorization requirements. From intensive outpatient programs (IOP) to psychological testing and extended therapy sessions, requirements can vary by payer and plan.
Here’s your reminder:
✔️ Verify authorization requirements before services are rendered.
✔️ Document confirmation numbers and payer communications.
✔️ Don’t assume retroactive authorization will be approved.
A little prevention can save you from unnecessary denials, write-offs, and billing headaches.
