Who we serve

Behavioral Health Clinicians

Insurance panels for therapists, LPCs, LCSWs, and psychologists.

Behavioral health gets the worst of credentialing: panels that claim to be closed, payers that lose therapist applications behind physician ones, and billing rules that differ by license level. Meanwhile every week off-panel is a week of clients who found you, asked “do you take my insurance,” and booked with someone who did.

We credential behavioral health clinicians every day — LPCs, LCSWs, LMFTs, psychologists, and group practices — including the closed-panel appeals and Medicaid mazes the generalists avoid.

The services that matter most here

Insurance credentialing

Getting on panels is the whole game — including the closed-panel appeals behavioral health hits constantly.

How it works →

CAQH setup & maintenance

Payers pull therapist files from CAQH too — an incomplete profile stalls everything.

How it works →

Telehealth licensing

PSYPACT for psychologists and multistate strategy for virtual practices.

How it works →

Medical billing & RCM

Session claims filed clean and denials worked, so taking insurance actually pays.

Common questions

How do I get on insurance panels as a therapist?
Licensure and (for most panels) supervised-hours completion, an NPI, a complete CAQH profile, then applications to each payer — followed by the 90–150 day wait and the follow-up grind. The panels-are-closed wall is common in behavioral health; appeals citing network gaps in your specialty, language, or modality frequently open it.
Panels in my area say they're closed. Is it hopeless?
No — behavioral health network adequacy is under real regulatory pressure, and payers routinely make exceptions for niches they're short on: child and adolescent, substance use, bilingual clinicians, evening availability. A specific, evidence-based appeal beats a generic one; writing those is core to our credentialing work.
Should I take insurance at all, or stay private-pay?
Honest answer: it depends on your market and fill rate. Panels trade lower session rates for referral volume and lower marketing burden. Many practices run hybrid — a couple of well-chosen panels plus private-pay. We'll talk through the economics before you buy anything.
Can associate-level clinicians (LPC-A, LMSW) get credentialed?
With most commercial payers, not independently — they bill under supervision arrangements where allowed. Rules vary by state and payer; Medicaid is often more flexible. We map what's actually available for your license level and state.
