From Credentialing to Coding: Starting Your Mental Health Practice the Right Way
Published by Precision Hub — 04-22-2025 06:04:33 AM
Starting your own mental health practice is an exciting step—but it comes with important groundwork. Beyond creating a welcoming space for clients, you need to master the operational essentials, especially credentialing and accurate billing.
Understanding which CPT code for individual therapy to use is critical. Codes like 90834 (45-minute session) or 90837 (60-minute session) ensure you're properly reimbursed for the time and care you provide. If your services include alternative approaches like clinical hypnosis, make sure to use the correct hypnosis CPT code, such as 90880, to reflect that specialized treatment.
Incorrect coding can lead to delayed payments or claim denials, which can seriously affect your revenue flow—especially in the early days of your practice. Laying a strong foundation with correct credentialing and coding helps protect your practice and allows you to focus on what matters most: delivering quality care to your clients.
