Behavioral Health Billing Services for Therapists, Psychiatrists, and Group Practices
Behavioral health billing has its own rules, payer quirks, modifiers, telehealth requirements, documentation expectations, and denial patterns. SOSA helps mental health providers manage the revenue cycle with cleaner claims, faster follow-up, and clearer reporting.

Behavioral health billing is not the same as general medical billing.
Therapy sessions, psychiatric visits, group therapy, telehealth, EAP programs, prior authorizations, timed codes, modifiers, payer-specific documentation rules, and credentialing status all affect whether a claim gets paid correctly.
A general billing vendor may process claims. A behavioral health billing partner understands why they are denied, delayed, underpaid, or rejected in the first place.
