By this time, the COVID-19 pandemic has affected almost every industry in this country, the behavioral health space included – however, this industry is rightly still considered essential and so as a behavioral health billing company, we are still operating full steam ahead for our facilities while practicing safe social distancing with our employees. We wanted to take some time to share some of our observations, insights and updates from CA Billing and the industry at large. CA Billing helps our facilities strategize which insurance carriers make sense to develop an in-network contract with. Based on your location, services you provide, and your marketing we can help you determine what makes the most sense for your business. If you have any questions about your billing, whether you are one of our facilities or not please feel free to reach out. Also, we have some exciting new data tools coming out in the next several months for the facilities we work with and we can’t wait to share.

There comes a time for every behavioral health facility to decide whether it makes sense to build an in-house billing team or hire an outside company. There’s no one size fits all answer for every company but there are some advantages of hiring an outside billing company to keep in mind when making your decision. So, do the benefits of hiring an outside billing company outweigh the cost? While there are reasons to invest in building an in-house billing department, there are many advantages of hiring an outside company with expertise, experience, and a breadth of knowledge and data.
