I am incredibly pleased with how well Joe White of MediBillMD was able to navigate a very challenging billing dilemma I was facing. He was incredibly diligent in resolving this issue, managing all the necessary communications with insurance companies, and providing me with thorough updates and explanations at every step of the way. In the time I’ve worked with him, Joe has made me confident that when he says he will do something, he will follow through, and that the task will be executed with expert-level skill. This level of thorough service, industry knowledge, and detailed follow-through has been hard to come by in the billing world in my experience, so I’m so thankful to Joe for delivering on all fronts. I’d recommend the company and Joe without reservation, and I look forward to continuing to work with them in the future.

I have avoided using a billing company for 10 years, but after reading the reviews, I decided to try MediBillMD. I was still fairly skeptical, but have been pleasantly surprised. I have my own direct contact, Zack Keller, who works directly with my company and he has been beyond helpful! He is always quick to reply, very professional, responsive, and has been able to answer all my questions. They also assign someone to guide the onboarding process. We have Alex Walker and he has also be wonderfully helpful and responsive. The onboarding process does take a little bit, but they provide a timeline and are able to make sure things are moving in the right direction. Wish I would have taken this leap years ago

I was new to the credentialing world. Onique had everything set up very quickly. Aaron took over shortly after. Aaron kept in contact with insurance companies weekly and helped with things that would be difficult for me to do. Overall, a good experience.

Working with MedibillMD has been an exceptional experience from start to finish. Our goal was to complete credentialing within 90 to 120 days, and thanks to their efficiency and expertise, we were fully credentialed in just around 90 days. I had the pleasure of working closely with Mick Lawson, Onique Elrod, and Jason Parker—each of whom brought professionalism, responsiveness, and deep knowledge to the process. They kept us informed at every step, addressed questions promptly, and ensured that no detail was overlooked. Credentialing can often be a complex and time-consuming endeavor, but MedibillMD made it feel seamless. Their team’s dedication and follow-through exceeded expectations, and I would confidently recommend them to any practice seeking reliable credentialing support.

Simon Nixon was professional, timely, and was able to secure my 7 contracts in 8 weeks. I would use him and MedibillMD again and have already recommended them to my colleagues. Even after the contracts were secure, he is still able to answer my follow-up questions quickly and concisely.

I am a clinical psychologist who has worked in higher education settings for 27 years. I am transitioning into private practice and needed help setting up my credentialing. Aaron and the team at MediBill have been top-notch at getting contracts set up. They are quick and attentive to detail.

Common Credentialing Challenges for Mental Health Providers

Documentation Icon

Delayed
Approvals

We all know how insurance payers only admit credible providers in their network. That’s why primary source verification is the foundation of mental health credentialing. However, delays in this process, due to errors or inconsistencies, ultimately lead to delayed approvals. As a result, some providers start receiving reimbursements after 6 months.

Documentation Icon

Ambiguous
Requirements

Ambiguity creates further confusion. Many mental health providers are left guessing about the actual credentialing requirements. The main reason? Fragmented information! As a result, they feel overwhelmed with the entire credentialing process and end up submitting an incorrect application. This results in more paperwork

Documentation Icon

Non-Standarized
Process

Unfortunately, mental health credentialing is not uniform across all payers. Each insurance payer, including both commercial and government payers, has a distinct application process. This makes it difficult for mental health providers to submit the same application for different networks. As a result, they make frequent errors.

Documentation Icon

Time-Consuming
Process

Mental and behavioral health credentialing often consumes all your time and resources. This lengthy process requires constant tracking, profile maintenance, communication with payers, and deadline management. As a result, it places a heavy administrative burden on small clinics and solo practitioners, impacting their operational efficiency.
