Mental health service providers, including clinicians and treatment facilities, are trained to focus on the needs of their patients and provide exceptional care. Instead, they routinely find themselves spending valuable time and energy responding to intrusive and inefficient insurer reviews or fighting for prompt and equitable reimbursement.

Mental health practitioners and facilities are trained to focus on the needs of their patients and provide exceptional care. Instead, they routinely find themselves spending valuable time and energy responding to intrusive and inefficient insurer reviews or fighting for prompt and equitable reimbursement.

Our services are designed specifically with the needs of mental health practitioners and facilities in mind. We offer consultation for dealing with medical necessity reviews and network inadequacy barriers.

We can assist in:

  • Challenging access impediments due to network inadequacy
  • Analyzing and responding to insurer challenges of mental health treatment on medical necessity grounds
  • Addressing reimbursement challenges
  • Determining the applicability of federal and state mental health parity protections
  • Preparing persuasive appeals to health insurers on behalf of patients pursuing coverage for mental health treatment
  • Seeking independent medical reviews of insurer treatment denials
  • Petitioning state and federal regulatory bodies that oversee patient access to mental health care

By combining our extensive knowledge of mental health care with that of litigation and appeals, Psych-Appeal offers unparalleled expertise to clinicians in all areas of mental health or substance disorder treatment.
