When the Audit Comes, Will Your Coding Hold Up?

Behavioral health groups are facing 5- and 6-figure recoupment demands per audit, and E/M with psychotherapy combinations are among the highest-risk claims flagged.

The Behavioral Health Billing & Compliance Puzzle podcasts series is designed for executives who are accountable when a claim is denied or an audit occurs.

In our first episode, “Compliance Pitfalls and Audit Risks,” Stacey Shillito, Director of Coding Audit and Compliance at Panacea , walks through the three most common pitfalls that trigger denials and recoupments:

When to use psychotherapy add-on codes vs. standalone codes (and which CCI edits cannot be overridden with a modifier)
Why selecting E/M level by time instead of Medical Decision Making is costing practices real money
When not to bill an additional E/M code on a therapy-focused visit

If your team bills for psychotherapy alongside E/M services, this episode provides the clarity you need to protect your revenue and stay audit-ready.
