This course is designed for medical and mental health staff in Rural Health Clinics (RHCs) namely clinical providers, facility managers, and revenue cycle staff who need to develop an understanding of how to document, code, and properly bill for behavioral health services to various payers. Additionally, if it is a goal of the RHC to truly integrate medical and mental health services, this session can help you capture compliant revenue for services that may not have been billable in the past.

Upon completion of this training, you should be able to:

• Recognize compliant coding and billing options for psychiatric diagnostic evaluations, psychotherapy, interactive complexity, psychotherapy for crisis, and health and behavior assessment/interventions.
