: Crisis stabilization
: Cherylwilli January 29, 2010, 06:28:05 PM
I am a biller for mental health providers.  A potential provider bills for crisis stabilization.  I have never billed this and don't know what's involved.  Can someone tell me how to bill for this?

Thanks for the help!

Are they doing the crisis stabilization in their office?  Or are they going out to meet the patient?  Are they classified to do this (with the insurance carriers)?  Need more info.

I don't have the specifics yet.  When asked I was caught off guard and didn't know what questions to ask without appearing ignorant.  She's going on vacation next week and will follow up with me when she returns.  I was hoping to meet before her vacation and wanted to be prepared.  Hopefully, I'll get more information.   Thanks.
