The "Billing Bottleneck" Problem
Endless manual entry of CPT therapy session codes (e.g., 90837 for 60-minute psychotherapy) and patient copays under strict HIPAA constraints, risking PHI exposure
Delayed reimbursements from payers like UnitedHealthcare or MassHealth due to error-prone superbill generation, leading to claim denials for incomplete UB-04 forms
Compliance risks from unsecured invoice storage in shared drives or outdated EHR systems like Epic, exposing protected health information (PHI) to breaches
Therapist burnout from chasing unpaid claims instead of focusing on client sessions
Fragmented workflows between EHR clinical notes (e.g., progress notes on anxiety treatment) and billing software like Kareo, causing claim denials for mismatched modifiers
Scalability issues as patient volume grows from telehealth expansions, overwhelming solo practitioners with invoice volume for EOB reconciliations and secondary claims

What Makes Us Different:
Quantifiable Gains That Transform Your Practice
Reclaim 12+ Hours Weekly for Patient-Focused Work
Reclaim 12+ Hours Weekly for Patient-Focused Work: Mental health practices using our automation report saving up to 12 hours per week on billing tasks, per benchmarks from Healthcare Financial Management Association. For example, therapists can now dedicate that time to extended CBT sessions, reducing burnout by 25% as measured by Maslach Burnout Inventory scores. Your ROI hits break-even in under three months through reduced overtime and faster collections on claims averaging $150 per session.
Accelerate Reimbursements and Cut Bad Debt by 35%
Accelerate Reimbursements and Cut Bad Debt by 35%: Gone are the days of waiting 60-90 days for payer approvals on claims for services like 90834 psychotherapy codes. Our AI flags discrepancies in superbills instantly, slashing denial rates from 20% to under 5%. Practices see cash flow improve by 35%, based on real client outcomes within the first quarter, allowing you to invest in expanding services like group therapy for PTSD without financial strain.
Ironclad HIPAA Compliance Without the Headache
Ironclad HIPAA Compliance Without the Headache: Every invoice flows through encrypted channels compliant with HITRUST standards, with audit trails that withstand OCR audits. We've helped practices avoid fines averaging $50,000 per breach, as reported by HHS data, by embedding automated PHI de-identification and consent logging into the automation—freeing you to prioritize empathetic care over paperwork worries during high-volume intake periods.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, our small team in Chicago was drowning in superbills every Friday—taking a full day just to prep claims for UnitedHealthcare using 90837 codes. Now, the AI handles it in under 30 minutes, and we've cut our AR days from 45 to 22 while reducing denials by 28%. It's like having an extra admin without the salary, letting us focus on trauma-informed care."
Dr. Sarah Jenkins
Clinical Director, Mindful Pathways Therapy (5-clinician mental health practice specializing in PTSD treatment)
"As a solo practitioner in Austin, I was spending evenings reconciling copays from telehealth sessions billed under 90834. Their custom system integrates with my TheraNest setup flawlessly, saving me 10 hours a week on EOB matching. Reimbursements are quicker by 30 days on average, and I feel more present for my clients dealing with anxiety disorders during virtual intakes."
Lisa Chen, LMFT
Founder and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Serenity Counseling (Solo telehealth practice for anxiety and depression)
"Our group practice in Boston faced constant HIPAA audits on billing files stored in shared drives. AIQ built us a secure pipeline that auto-redacts PHI from progress notes and tracks everything with immutable logs. Claims to MassHealth now process 40% faster, with AR under 30 days, and we've avoided any compliance hiccups in the last year—game-changer for scaling our adolescent therapy programs."
Mark Rivera, PsyD
Practice Manager, Harbor Mental Health (10-provider group specializing in child and adolescent behavioral health)

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your invoice automation ensure HIPAA compliance for mental health records?
HIPAA is non-negotiable in our designs. We use end-to-end encryption for all data in transit and at rest, with role-based access controls that limit visibility to PHI only to authorized staff. Our AI processes session notes without storing sensitive details long-term, instead generating anonymized superbills. We've audited our systems against HHS guidelines, and clients like group practices in California have passed external audits flawlessly. Plus, we include automated de-identification tools to scrub data before invoicing, reducing breach risks that plague 1 in 5 healthcare providers annually.
What if my practice uses a specific EHR like TheraNest—can it integrate?
Absolutely, integration is our specialty. We map your exact workflow, whether it's TheraNest, SimplePractice, or even custom setups, using secure APIs to pull session data without disrupting clinical operations. For a recent client with TheraNest, we automated the flow from intake notes to claim submission in two weeks, cutting manual exports by 90%. No brittle connectors here—our custom code ensures two-way sync, so updates in your EHR instantly reflect in invoices, keeping everything synchronized and error-free.
How quickly can I see ROI from this automation?
Most mental health practices recoup their investment within 2-4 months. Take a solo therapist we worked with: they saved 8 hours weekly on billing, equating to $1,200 in reclaimed billable time at $150/hour rates, plus 25% faster reimbursements adding $5,000 in monthly cash flow. We baseline your current metrics during discovery, then track savings via our dashboard. Industry data from MGMA shows similar automations yield 3x ROI in the first year, and we optimize iteratively to accelerate yours.
Will this work for telehealth-heavy practices with variable session lengths?
Yes, our AI is built to handle the nuances of telehealth in mental health, like variable session durations or multi-state licensing. It auto-calculates modifiers for platforms like Doxy.me, ensuring accurate CPT coding for 45-minute vs. 60-minute sessions. A telehealth-focused practice in New York saw their claim accuracy rise from 75% to 98% post-implementation, reducing denials from insurers like Cigna. We customize for your billing quirks, making it as flexible as your virtual sessions.
What happens if payer rules change, like updates to mental health parity laws?
Our systems are designed for adaptability. We monitor regulatory shifts through dedicated healthcare channels and push updates via over-the-air deployments, often before they impact your workflow. For instance, when CMS updated telepsych codes last year, we rolled out adjustments in days for affected clients, preventing delays. You own the core system, so changes are yours—no vendor fees. This proactive stance has kept our partners ahead of 80% of industry curveballs, maintaining steady reimbursements.
Is training involved, and how steep is the learning curve for my staff?
We provide hands-on training tailored to your team's size, typically 4-6 hours spread over a week, focusing on mental health-specific scenarios like copay adjustments for sliding-scale fees. It's intuitive—staff at a Boston clinic were processing invoices independently after two sessions. Our dashboard mimics familiar EHR interfaces, minimizing disruption. Post-launch, we offer 30 days of support and quarterly check-ins, ensuring adoption rates hit 95% as seen in our deployments.
