Common billing gaps in psychiatry
- →Time-based versus assessment-based service selection
- →Hospital versus office code families on overlapping patient populations
- →Consult versus ongoing management when the referral question changed
- →Missed premiums when urgent or after-hours criteria apply
- →Documentation that does not support the level billed under audit

Common questions
- What does a billing review usually surface for Ontario psychiatry practices?
- We look for pattern-level issues in codes, modifiers, premiums, and resubmissions that match typical psychiatry encounters in hospital and clinic settings. You get a short list of concrete gaps tied to your workflow.
- How do you work with our existing billing setup?
- We map your current workflow, who owns rejections and AR, and where documentation and fee schedule rules diverge. Then we show whether a focused change in process or support would move net revenue.
- What should I prepare before we talk?
- Recent rejection or pend reports help when you have them. A rough sense of monthly OHIP volume and who signs off on corrections is enough to make the first conversation productive.
