We are looking for someone with real experience in U.S. mental health / behavioral health billing to join a short weekly call and answer questions based on their hands-on experience. This is not a billing operations role. You will not need to submit claims, work accounts, contact payers, manage clients, access patient information, or perform any billing tasks. The role is simple: once per week, we will schedule a 20–30 minute call where we ask you questions about your real-world experience with mental health billing, payer denials, reimbursement issues, authorization problems, credentialing issues, and related billing challenges. We will lead the call and come prepared with the questions. You only need to show up and share your experience. Example questions may include: * Which payers have you seen the most denials from recently? * What denial trends have you noticed in the last 1–2 months? * Are you seeing more issues with eligibility, prior authorization, telehealth, medical necessity, or timely filing? * Which CPT codes are causing the most billing or reimbursement problems? * Have you seen any recent payer policy changes affecting mental health claims? Ideal Experience: * Experience with U.S. mental health / behavioral health billing * Familiarity with commercial insurance, Medicaid, Medicare, or payer-specific denial trends * Experience reviewing denials, EOBs/ERAs, unpaid claims, underpayments, prior authorizations, eligibility issues, or credentialing problems * Familiarity with therapy, psychiatry, counseling, substance abuse, or group practice billing is a plus * Experience with CPT codes such as 90834, 90837, 90791, 90853, 99213, 99214, or 99215 is helpful What This Is: * A paid expert interview / advisory call * 20–30 minutes per week * Long-term opportunity if the first call is helpful * We provide the questions and guide the conversation * You share practical, real-world experience What This Is Not: * Not a medical billing job * Not a claims submission role * Not client-facing * No patient information involved * No access to billing systems required * No written reports required unless separately discussed Pay: $25-50 depending on length and depth of call. Long term project We would like to start with one paid trial call. If it is a good fit, this can become a recurring weekly arrangement. To Apply: Please briefly answer the following: 1. How many years of mental health / behavioral health billing experience do you have? 2. Are you fluent in English? 3. What billing issues have you personally dealt with? For example: denials, prior auths, eligibility, underpayments, credentialing, telehealth, payer policy changes, etc. 4. Are you available for a weekly 20–30 minute call?
