Substance Use Treatment billing challenges

Where substance use treatment claims get stuck

These are the specialty-specific problems that cause denials, delays, and underpayments most often.

Level-of-care authorizations

Payers authorize specific levels of care for set periods, and services outside them aren't paid.

Program-specific codes

Medicaid often uses HCPCS H-codes, while commercial plans may expect CPT or revenue codes.

Extra privacy rules

Substance use treatment records carry added federal confidentiality protections that billing must respect.
