Billing
Three ways to pay for billing
Most practices choose a percentage of collections: 2.5%. If you want a predictable bill or a person who works only for you, pick one of the other two models. There is no setup fee and no long-term contract.
Billing is 2.5% of collections for every specialty we serve, with no setup fee, no monthly minimum and no long-term contract. We give you a written quote before you sign anything. See dedicated billing staff for how the staffing model works.
| Model | How it works | Good fit for | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Percentage of collections | You pay a share of the money we collect for you. When claims do not pay, you do not pay a fee on them. | Solo clinicians, new practices, practices with changing volume | 2.5% of collections |
| Flat monthly fee | One fixed price each month, set from your claim volume and the scope you need. | Practices with steady volume that want a predictable cost | Quoted after a short review |
| Dedicated staff | A biller, coder, credentialer, virtual assistant or marketer assigned only to your practice. | Group practices and fast-growing practices | Custom quote |
Credentialing
Credentialing prices
Credentialing is $80 per payer. When you sign up for billing, we credential 5 commercial payers at no charge.
| Option | What you get | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Per payer | One payer application for one provider, from submission to a signed contract or a final answer. | $80 per payer |
| Packages | A set of payers for one or more providers, priced together. | Quoted by number of payers and providers |
| Monthly plan | Ongoing credentialing work for a growing practice on one monthly fee. | Quoted by scope |
| Free with billing | 5 commercial payer enrollments when you sign up for billing. | $0 |
The 5 free enrollments cover commercial payers only. Government payers such as Medicare and Medicaid cost $80 each, like any other payer. Every client gets weekly credentialing status updates.

Total cost
Compare the total cost, not just the rate
A low percentage can still cost more once setup fees, monthly minimums, contracts and extra charges are added. Here is every fee and term with us, so you can compare like for like.
| Cost or term | RevenueCTRL |
|---|---|
| Billing rate | Billing is 2.5% of the money we collect for you. When a claim does not pay, you pay no fee on it. |
| Setup fee | $0 |
| Monthly minimum | None |
| Long-term contract | None |
| Credentialing | 5 commercial payers free with billing, then $80 per payer. Medicare and Medicaid are $80 each, like any other payer. |
| EHR and clearinghouse | Stay in your practice’s name. You pay those vendors directly, and we add no fee for them. |
| Old unpaid claims from before you joined | No cleanup fee. We work them like any other claim and charge the same rate, only on what we collect. |
Example
What 2.5% looks like each month
Examples at our 2.5% rate, next to the typical 5–8% market range for behavioral health billing. The rate is the same for every practice.
| Monthly collections | RevenueCTRL at 2.5%, per month | Typical market at 5–8%, per month |
|---|---|---|
| $10,000 | $250 | $500–$800 |
| $20,000 | $500 | $1,000–$1,600 |
| $50,000 | $1,250 | $2,500–$4,000 |
On top of that, 5 free credentialing enrollments are worth about $500–$1,500 at typical market prices of $100–$300 per payer.

Your quote
What affects a flat fee or staffing quote
The percentage plan is always 2.5% of collections, whatever your size, specialty or payers. If you choose a flat monthly fee or dedicated staff, we look at four things before we quote.
| Factor | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Claim volume | Higher, steadier volume usually means a better flat fee. |
| Specialty and codes | Some specialties need more coding review, prior authorizations or add-on codes. |
| Payer mix | Medicaid plans, Medicare and out-of-network claims each add their own rules and follow-up. |
| Scope | Credentialing, virtual assistant, marketing or web work can be added or left out. |

How much does a mental health billing service cost?
Our billing is 2.5% of collections for every specialty we serve, with no setup fee and no monthly minimum. Across the market, behavioral health billing commonly runs 5–8% of collections, and flat monthly fees often run $500 to $3,000 or more.
Why do you charge a percentage of collections?
Because it ties our fee to your results. We earn more only when you get paid more, so we have a reason to chase every denial and unpaid claim.
Are the 5 free credentialing enrollments really free?
Yes. When you sign up for billing, we credential 5 commercial payers at no charge. Government payers such as Medicare and Medicaid are not part of the free 5 and cost $80 each, like any other payer.
Are there any hidden fees?
No. There is no setup fee, no monthly minimum and no long-term contract. Your EHR and clearinghouse stay in your name and you pay those vendors directly. Old unpaid claims from before you joined have no cleanup fee: we work them and charge the same rate, only on what we collect. Your written quote lists every fee.
Do I have to sign a long-term contract?
No. No long-term contract is required, and terms are flexible. Your written quote spells out the terms before you sign.
Can I buy credentialing without billing?
Yes. Credentialing is $80 per payer, and packages and monthly plans are available. The free enrollments apply only when you also use our billing service.
What does a dedicated biller cost?
Dedicated staff are quoted case by case, based on the role, hours and experience you need. A dedicated biller, coder, credentialer, virtual assistant or marketer works only for your practice.
Is the 2.5% the same for every practice?
Yes. Percentage billing is always 2.5% of collections, for solo clinicians and groups, every specialty we serve and every payer, including Medicare, Medicaid and out-of-network claims. It does not go up for a small or new practice.
How do I get a quote?
The percentage plan needs no custom quote: it is always 2.5% of collections. For a flat monthly fee, dedicated staff or a credentialing package, request the free 90-day claims audit or book a call. We review your claims, payers and volume, then send a written quote. There is no obligation.
