Billing
Three ways to pay for billing
Most practices choose a percentage of collections, starting at 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.
Your rate depends on your specialty, claim volume and the work you hand us. 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 | From 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 starts at $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. | From $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 are priced separately. Every client gets weekly credentialing status updates.

Your quote
What affects your price
Five things move the price up or down. We look at each one before we quote.
| Factor | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Claim volume | Higher, steadier volume usually means a lower percentage or 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. |
| Old A/R | Cleaning up months of unpaid claims is extra work compared with starting fresh. |
| 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 starts at 2.5% of collections. Across the market, behavioral health billing commonly runs 5–8% of collections, and flat monthly fees often run $500 to $3,000 or more. Your rate depends on volume, payers and scope.
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 are priced separately.
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 starts at $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.
How do I get an exact quote?
Request the free 90-day claims audit or book a call. We review your claims, payers and volume, then send a written price quote. There is no obligation.
