Disciplined Revenue Cycle & Administrative Workflow for Mental & Behavioral Health.
Streamline recurring encounter administration, complex authorization tracking, time-based coding validation, and commercial/telehealth payer reconciliation across psychiatric and therapeutic care continuums.
Where Behavioral Health Revenue Cycles Silently Bleed Capital.
Therapeutic and psychiatric revenue cycles operate under distinct structural constraints that standard general-practice billing engines fail to accommodate.
Authorization Depletion & Lapsed Pre-Certs
Tracking concurrent care authorization caps across multi-week session schedules. Without automated burn-down alerts, clinicians render unbillable sessions past allotted pre-authorization caps, triggering fatal non-covered denials.
Time-Based Coding Vulnerabilities
Rigid documentation mandates for psychiatric evaluation versus psychotherapy add-on codes (90833, 90836, 90838) combined with evaluation and management services. Discrepancies between session start/stop timestamps invite aggressive audit clawbacks.
Payer Carve-Outs & Sub-Networks
Commercial medical policies frequently carve out behavioral health coverage to third-party benefit managers (e.g., Carelon, Optum Behavioral, Beacon/Elevance). Submitting to the primary medical payer creates EDI routing failures and extended aging backlogs.
The JORVUS Behavioral Health Revenue Continuum.
An engineered 5-stage lifecycle managing intake verification through to finalized adjudication and patient balance reconciliation.
Carve-Out & Auth Verification
Automated 270/271 queries delineate behavioral payer carve-outs, copay tiers, and active authorization unit allotments prior to scheduling.
Timed Clinical Notes
Provider notes capture exact cumulative psychotherapy minute durations, clinical necessity rationale, and standardized DSM-5-TR diagnostic mapping.
Compliant Scrubbing
Algorithms check CPT code combinations, modifiers (-95, -GT, -FQ, -FR), and place of service (POS 02 vs 10) rules against payer contracts.
Sub-Network Dispatch
Direct clearinghouse dispatch mapped to specialty behavioral health payer IDs to bypass commercial medical intermediaries.
Self-Pay & Copay Match
Automated reconciliation of sliding scales, recurring card-on-file copayments, and high-deductible behavioral patient liabilities.
Capabilities Tailored Specifically to Mental Health Practices.
Purpose-built operational modules replace disconnected generic billing software with unified behavioral workflows.
Session Depletion & Auth Tracking
Dynamic counters link encounter logs to authorized session numbers. Receive automated notifications at configured thresholds (e.g., 3 sessions remaining) so clinical administrative staff initiate re-authorizations before service interruption.
Telehealth Coding & Modifier Rules
Configured logic handles evolving state and commercial telehealth policies. Automated rule engines assign POS 02 (Telehealth Outside Home) vs. POS 10 (Telehealth in Patient Home) paired with corresponding -95, -GT, or audio-only modifiers.
Sliding-Scale & Private Pay Ledgering
Support blended practices with distinct ledgers for in-network commercial insurance, self-pay retainers, and sliding-scale arrangements. Generate HIPAA-compliant Superbills with automated ICD-10 diagnostic coding for client out-of-network submission.
Behavioral Credentialing Lifecycle
Dedicated enrollment and credentialing services for LCSWs, LPCs, LMFTs, PsyDs, and MD/DO psychiatrists. We navigate closed payer panels, supervisor-incident-to billing policies, and CAQH maintenance to eliminate enrollment backlogs.
Clinical Notes Flow Seamlessly into Billing Batches.
Eliminate double entry and billing transcription errors. Jorvus EHR connects documentation directly to claim creation with zero re-keying.
