Key features include a summary of billed days, paid days, unsettled days, and denied days; total payments received and average payment per day; easy search functionality by patient name or check number; the ability to filter data by criteria such as claim status, service date, and insurance; and detailed patient records showing dates of service, billing amounts, allowed amounts, and patient responsibility.

What software does CodeMax use?

Proprietary platform built by coding experts and clinicians, integrated with Change Healthcare, available via web and mobile app.

Does CodeMax have a mobile app?

Yes, available on iOS and Android.

What does a behavioral health billing consultant do?

A behavioral health billing consultant audits a facility's revenue cycle, identifies where claims are leaking revenue, restructures workflows for VOB, utilization review, and appeals, and trains internal teams.

When should a clinic hire a billing consultant?

Hire a billing consultant when AR days exceed 60, denial rates pass 20 percent, you cannot trace where revenue is being lost, or you are scaling into new programs or states.

How to improve utilization management?

Standardize ASAM criteria application, train clinical staff on documentation, run internal audits, and use peer-to-peer reviews proactively.

What is the VOB process?

The VOB process confirms active coverage, eligibility, deductibles, copays, out-of-pocket maximums, and pre-authorization requirements before treatment begins.

Behavioral Health Revenue Cycle Management Software

Your Revenue Cycle, Visible in Real Time

RCMx is CodeMax's proprietary full-stack billing solution, built to support the full revenue cycle rather than function as a billing plugin or afterthought. From VOB to final payment, every step is tracked, transparent, maximized, and accessible on web and mobile.

Real-Time Visibility in Every Stage of Billing

Instant Verification of Benefits

Submit a VOB the moment you have a prospective patient. Preliminary benefits – deductible, out-of-pocket, active coverage – come back immediately so admission decisions never wait.

Out-Of-Network Reimbursement Estimates

very full verification of benefits includes CodeMax’s proprietary reimbursement estimation algorithm, giving your team a realistic financial picture before admission.

Utilization Review Tracking

Admitted patients move directly into UR. Authorizations are logged in the portal so your team always knows exactly how long a patient is covered at each level of care.

Concurrent Authorization Management

RCMx tracks the treatment windows by level of care and pursues concurrent authorizations automatically, for uninterrupted treatment with more authorized days than competitors.

Proactive Medical Record Review

Revguard reviews medical records before they’re ever requested. Deficiencies are flagged in the portal, your team corrects them, and records are submitted faster – so reimbursement arrives sooner.

Live Claim Status Reporting

See real-time claim outcomes as data is entered: paid, open, negotiated, appealed, or pending records. No waiting required to find out where your revenue stands.

Full Mobile App Access

Every portal feature – benefits, authorizations, claim status, revenue cycle visibility, is available on mobile with full functionality.

Multi-Layer Secure Access

Two-factor authentication protects every login. All patient communication stays inside the portal supporting HIPAA compliance across your billing operations.

Why RCMx Is Different

Built for the Realities of Behavioral Health Reimbursement

Most behavioral health platforms were not built around the full insurance workflow providers rely on to protect revenue. When billing is treated as a plugin, add-on, or secondary function, teams get limited visibility into claims, authorizations, and reimbursement activity, causing slower decisions and forcing providers to act without a complete financial picture.

The CodeMax RCMx was built differently. Created by billing experts to support the full path from verification to payment, it gives providers and facilities faster answers, more visibility, and more control over the revenue cycle from the start. Every feature is built to help reduce delays, improve admission decisions, and maximize reimbursement.

Typical Billing Software

Limited visibility into claims and authorizations
Monthly reports instead of live revenue insight
Extra charges for basic benefit checks
Billing treated as a secondary function to the EMR
Not built for the complexities of behavioral health reimbursement

CodeMax RCMx

Live claim status as data is entered.
Immediate preliminary digital benefits provided in the workflow.
Full platform functionality on web and mobile.
Purpose-built for behavioral health insurance billing from day one.

The Process

End-to-End Workflow for the Behavioral Health Reimbursement Lifecycle

From First Call to Final Payment

RCMx connects each stage of the revenue cycle without gaps, delays, or manual handoffs.

01

Prospective Patient Intake

Submit a VOB request the moment you have a potential admission. Preliminary digital benefits, including active coverage, deductible, and out-of-pocket data, come back immediately so you can make a faster, more informed admission decision.
02

Admission and Authorization

Once a patient is admitted, the case enters utilization review immediately. CodeMax presents the medical case for treatment, logs the authorization into the portal, and tracks the treatment window by level of care to obtain concurrent authorizations and secure more authorized days.
03

Claims Submission and Tracking

The billing team assigns claims to authorized days as treatment progresses. You can see in the portal whether claims are being submitted and review notes if any claims are held. Every claim status is visible in real time: paid, open, negotiated, appealed, or medical-record-requested.
04

Payment and Projection

CodeMax clients typically see their first payment within 30 to 45 days after billing begins. Ongoing claim visibility lets you monitor payment activity daily and use that data for financial projections rather than waiting for a once-a-month summary.

Live Reporting

Real-Time Visibility

Stop Waiting for Monthly Reports

With most billing companies, you receive a summary once a month, one that has already been reviewed and packaged before you see it. RCMx gives you access to data as it is entered, every day, without waiting.

See claim outcomes in real time: paid, open, negotiated, appealed, and medical-record-requested.
Monitor daily payment activity and estimate when reimbursement will arrive.
Review authorization status and remaining authorized days by level of care.
Audit claim submission activity directly in the portal.
Use ongoing visibility for financial projections rather than retrospective monthly reviews.

HIPAA Built In

Security and Compliance

A Platform Your Compliance Team Can Trust

RCMx is built with HIPAA compliance in mind at every layer. From the way patient data is accessed to how communication is handled, every design decision reflects the security requirements of behavioral health.

Username, Password, and Two-Factor Authentication

Access to the portal requires multi-layer authentication so only authorized team members can view patient and claim data.

All Patient Communication Stays Inside the Portal

Communication about patients is kept inside the platform rather than sent over regular email. This removes a common HIPAA risk and keeps sensitive information in a controlled, auditable environment.

Organization-Wide HIPAA Compliance Support

The RCMx mobile app helps support HIPAA compliance across your broader organization, not just within the software itself. Competitors using deficient or non-compliant platforms create HIPAA risk for the facilities that rely on them.

Two-Factor Authentication
HIPAA-Compliant
Secure Mobile Access
In-Portal Communication
No External Email for PHI

Behavioral Health Revenue Cycle Management Software - Frequently Asked Questions

What is behavioral health revenue cycle management software?

Behavioral health revenue cycle management software is a platform built specifically for the insurance workflow of behavioral health facilities, covering VOB, utilization review, claims, authorizations, and payment tracking. RCMx is purpose-built for this workflow rather than added on as an EHR plugin.

How is RCM software different from EHR software?

EHR software manages clinical records and treatment documentation. RCM software manages the financial side: eligibility, authorizations, claim submission, denials, and reimbursement tracking. Many EHRs treat billing as a secondary function, which is why behavioral health facilities outgrow them as revenue scales.

Is CodeMax’s Software HIPAA compliant?

Yes. CodeMax’s software and platform are built with HIPAA compliance at every layer, including two-factor authentication, which avoids unsecured email, and secure mobile access. The platform supports organization-wide HIPAA compliance rather than passing risk back to the facility.

What are the 7 steps of the revenue cycle?

The seven steps are pre-registration, registration, charge capture, claim submission, remittance processing, insurance follow-up, and patient collections. RCMx tracks every step in real time so facilities see claim status as data is entered, not in a monthly summary.

What are the 9 steps in RCM?

The nine RCM steps are patient registration, insurance verification, charge capture, coding, claim submission, payment posting, denial management, appeals, and reporting. RCMx connects each stage in one platform, eliminating the manual handoffs that slow reimbursement in most behavioral health facilities.
