Why Addiction Treatment Centers Need Specialized Billing

Many general billing companies fail to address the specific needs of behavioral health and addiction programs. Expert billing and coding for substance abuse treatment is crucial to prevent lost revenue and ensure full compliance.
  • Complex payer rules for detox, IOP, PHP, and MAT services
  • Frequent reauthorization windows that risk claim denials
  • Strict documentation standards linked to ASAM level justification
Our behavioral health billing team ensures complete accuracy, consistent authorization management, and faster collections for addiction treatment centers of every size.
