Who We Serve

Mental Health Billing for Group and Multi-Provider Practices

Behind every group practice is a billing operation: claims, denials, payments, and reporting moving across the entire roster. Billshrinkers runs that operation for group and multi-provider mental health practices as one coordinated process, whatever the size of the roster and however it changes.

Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Eastern.

One Operation

One billing operation, not a separate one per provider

Billshrinkers manages group-practice billing as one coordinated operation across the entire roster. Claims, denials, and payments are tracked by provider and by payer, while responsibility for the full billing picture stays in one place. Your office manager works with one organized billing process rather than managing separate billing relationships for every clinician.

Visibility

Reporting built for practice-wide visibility

Practice leadership should be able to see the billing operation, not just receive its output. Our billing system, Raintree, reports aging analysis, patient balances, and insurance balances broken out by provider and by payer, and reports can be delivered automatically on a schedule that fits how you manage. Owners and office managers can see where balances are sitting, compare activity across providers and payers, and identify where closer attention may be needed.

Your Roster

A process that moves with your roster

Rosters change. Providers join, leave, shift schedules, and step into new roles. Our process incorporates those changes as part of normal operations. Billing adjusts to the new shape of the roster, while reporting for the rest of the practice continues without interruption. You do not need to simplify how your practice is structured to make it easier for us to bill.

Licensure & Supervision

Billing knowledge across licenses, credentials, and supervision structures

Group practices may include providers with different licenses, credentials, specialties, and supervision arrangements. Billshrinkers understands how those differences affect the way claims must be structured and submitted. The correct approach can depend on payer rules, provider credentials, state requirements, modifiers, NPIs, supervision arrangements, documentation, and setting. Two examples of what that looks like in practice:

Supervision billing

When an associate-level clinician provides services under a licensed supervisor, we bill the claim the way that payer and state require, whether that means the supervisor’s NPI, the supervisee’s own NPI with the appropriate modifier, or another payer-specific structure.

Incident-to billing

When a nurse practitioner’s or physician assistant’s services qualify under Medicare’s incident-to requirements and are furnished under a supervising physician, the services may be billed under the physician’s NPI at the applicable physician rate. When the requirements are not met, we follow the Medicare billing structure that applies to that service instead.

If your group includes a psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner, see our psychiatric billing page for how we handle those claims.

Scope

What we handle, and what we refer out

Billshrinkers handles billing. Credentialing, meaning enrolling a provider with insurance panels, is a separate specialty that we refer to an outside credentialing specialist. Once the provider is enrolled, we incorporate their billing into the rest of the roster.

Questions

Questions group and multi-provider practices ask us

Our roster is large and still growing. Can you support it?

Yes. Billshrinkers supports any size roster, and the same coordinated process and reporting remain in place as the practice grows.

Can reporting be broken out by provider and by payer?

Yes. Raintree reporting covers aging analysis, patient balances, and insurance balances at the provider and payer level, and reports can be delivered automatically.

What happens when a provider joins or leaves?

Billing adjusts to the change as part of normal operations, and reporting for the rest of the practice continues without interruption.

We have supervisees and nurse practitioners. Can you bill those arrangements?

Yes. We handle supervision billing and Medicare incident-to billing, structured to the payer, state, and Medicare requirements that apply to each claim.

Do you handle credentialing?

Credentialing is handled by an outside specialist we refer you to, so our full focus stays on the billing. Once a provider is enrolled with payers, we take it from there.

Get Started

Every group is structured differently, and the right billing operation follows that structure. Tell us about your roster, your payers, and how billing runs today, and we will tell you plainly how we would coordinate it.
