In this episode, Kym sits down with Susan Frager, MSW, a credentialing and billing consultant, coach, and instructor for mental health professionals, billers, and administrative staff. Susan breaks down the terminology insurers routinely get wrong, walks through what actually happens when a supervisee gets licensed, and explains why some of the biggest billing platforms in the industry are more connected to insurance companies than most practice owners realize.

In This Episode, We Cover:

• The real difference between incident to billing and supervisory billing.

• Which major insurance companies allow supervisory billing, and where the rules get complicated.

• Why keeping supervisee caseloads small helps protect your practice from audit triggers.

• What happens in the gap between a clinician getting licensed and getting fully credentialed.

• How to find out whether an insurer allows supervisory billing without wasting time on hold.

• Why some of the biggest billing platforms are connected to the insurance companies themselves.

• What a price transparency data dive actually helps practice owners figure out.
