Why Medical Billing for Eating Disorder Treatment Is Complicated

Eating disorders involve preoccupations with food and weight that often lead to restrictive behaviors around eating. For some individuals, eating disorders co-occur with mental health issues like anxiety or even substance use issues. 

Medical billing for eating disorder treatment can be complicated due to needing insurance coverage for all of your patients’ needs. While legislation dictates that behavioral health issues need to be covered just like physical health issues, insurance companies often fight healthcare providers every step of the way. Just some of the ways insurance companies can make treating eating disorders difficult include:

  • Contracting mental health coverage to a different company
  • Fighting to substitute lesser treatment options
  • Looking for loopholes or errors in order to deny coverage
  • Trying to reduce treatment duration

Through individualized, evidence-based care, it’s possible for those who struggle with eating disorders to improve their mental and physical health. For your healthcare organization, the services of CodeMaxMB can help ensure that your patients get the quality care they need.
