Medtransic launches mental health billing division

By AI, Created 2:30 PM UTC, May 24, 2026, /AGP/ – Medtransic has launched a dedicated billing division for mental health providers as behavioral health practices face some of the highest claim denial rates in healthcare. The company says the new service is designed to help practices recover revenue, manage appeals and reduce preventable reimbursement losses.

Why it matters: - Mental health practices face a 30% claim denial rate, the highest in healthcare, creating delayed or lost revenue for providers. - Medtransic is targeting behavioral health groups that may lose six figures a year to denials that are often overturned on appeal.

What happened: - Medtransic announced a dedicated Mental Health Billing Division for psychiatric practices, therapists, psychologists and behavioral health groups across the U.S. - The division is open and actively onboarding new clients. - Behavioral health practices can request a free revenue cycle assessment by calling (888) 777-0860 or visiting the company website.

The details: - Medtransic says the division is built for end-to-end revenue cycle management in behavioral health. - Services include claim scrubbing and submission with behavioral health payer rules built in. - The offering includes prior authorization tracking and management across commercial, Medicaid and Medicare plans. - The division handles denial management and appeals, including parity law enforcement where applicable. - Telehealth billing support covers virtual therapy and psychiatric visits. - The service also includes AR recovery for aged and underpaid claims. - Credentialing and payer enrollment support is available for new and expanding practices. - The company cites 2023 data showing 30% of mental health claims were denied, compared with 19% across other claim types. - Medtransic says mental health denials are 85% higher than comparable medical claims. - The company says 81.7% of appealed mental health claim denials are ultimately overturned. - Medtransic estimates typical group practices can lose or delay $85,000 to $120,000 in annual revenue because of denials. - The company says behavioral health providers face prior authorization requirements that are 5.4 times higher than medical services. - Medtransic says documentation standards vary by payer and medical necessity disputes often require clinical narrative, not simple code corrections.

Between the lines: - The launch positions Medtransic as a specialist vendor in a category where generalist billing firms often miss behavioral health-specific rules. - The high overturn rate suggests many denials may reflect payer processes rather than invalid care, but practices often lack the staff to challenge them. - The move also signals growing demand for billing support tailored to telehealth and parity enforcement in behavioral health.

What’s next: - Medtransic will continue onboarding mental health clients and offering revenue cycle assessments. - The company is likely to lean on denial management, appeals and authorization support as core growth drivers for the new division. - Mental health providers can contact Nasar Haq, Founder and CEO, at contact@medtransic.com or (888) 777-0860 for more information.

The bottom line: - Medtransic is betting that specialized billing support can help behavioral health practices recover money that too often gets stuck in the claims process.
