Increasing denials for CBT, DBT, and EMDR claims?
Billing for specialized therapies can become complicated.
While these therapies are clinically different, payers often reimburse them using standard psychotherapy CPT codes — making proper documentation and time tracking essential.
Watch Out for these Common Denial Triggers:
❌ Missing session start/stop times
❌ No documented medical necessity
❌ Incorrect time-based coding
❌ Billing 90837 too frequently without support
❌ Missing authorization
❌ Incomplete progress notes
❌ Credentialing not finalized
Specialized therapy services require specialized billing support — and we’re here to help!
