Reimbursement in Mental Health Care
Mental health programs are experiencing increased scrutiny by regulatory bodies and payers concerning issues such as the quality of documentation, justification of treatment, and the need for treatment. There may be potential denials or delayed reimbursements on account of a lack of sufficient documentation. Renew Medical Group Medical Directors assist in ensuring the medical records support care as well as the guidelines set forth by the payer reimbursement. Medical records, plans of care, progress notes, and discharge summaries are audited to ensure they support accepted guidelines.
By maintaining consistent physician involvement and timely documentation sign-off, we help mental health facilities reduce operational friction and maintain more predictable reimbursement processes.
