Effective Strategies to Code Multiple Procedures and Optimize Facility Fees in Mental Health 

Mental health billing often faces challenges with multiple procedure coding and under-optimized facility fees, leading to denials and revenue loss. To prevent this, providers should list primary procedures first, use modifiers (51 and 59) correctly, follow payer-specific rules, and maintain thorough documentation. Facility fees can be maximized by capturing all billable services, documenting medical necessity, verifying insurance in advance, using integrated EHR systems, and strengthening denial management. Clear communication with patients and regular audits further improve compliance. Many practices enhance efficiency and stabilize cash flow by partnering with outsourcing mental health billing and coding service providers in India.
