We do the credentialing, the claims, and the denials, so nobody at your clinic has to become an insurance person.
Join the waitlistPsychedelic therapy can't be just for the rich. Real access runs on insurance, and insurance runs on billing that somebody is actually good at.
Prep sessions, dosing days, and integration visits all bill differently, and some of it can't go to insurance at all. We code to the legal guidance written for psilocybin therapy in New Mexico, and we can show our work on every claim.
Most clinicians in this field have never been paneled with a payer. Credentialing is months of forms and follow-up calls, so we start before your doors open. You send us one packet of documents and we take it from there: Medicaid enrollment, CAQH, plan applications, contracting.
Someone at your front desk uploads visit records to the portal. We check eligibility, ask for corrections in plain English when a record won't fly, submit the claims, post the payments, and chase whatever gets denied.
The software drafts claims. It doesn't send them. A billing specialist looks at every claim, prior auth, and appeal before it goes anywhere, and the system refuses outright to bill things that shouldn't be billed.
All of them are fair. Insurance has earned its reputation. Here's our honest answer to each one, with real numbers.
It really is. That's why we exist. Your front desk uploads visit records and we handle everything after that, from credentialing through appeals.
Most denials happen because something was wrong before the claim ever went out. We catch those problems at intake, and when a payer denies anyway, we appeal it instead of writing it off.
They're better than this field assumes. NM Medicaid now pays behavioral health at 150% of Medicare or better, and a single prep session pays $203 to $228. The insured part of a course comes to $692 to $807 per patient at today's provisional rates.
The dosing day still works that way: patients pay it directly, or the state Equity Fund covers it, until FDA approval opens it to insurance. The difference is that everything around it gets billed to coverage the patient already has. Their cost drops from thousands to a known fee plus copays, and you're no longer limited to patients who can write a $4,000 check.
| Payer | Screening | Prep session (×2) | Integration session | Insurance pays* |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| NM Medicaid (Turquoise Care) | $133 | $228 | $218 | $807 |
| BCBS New Mexico | $145 | $213 | $152 | $723 |
| Presbyterian Health Plan | $138 | $203 | $148 | $692 |
* One screening, two prep sessions, and one integration session, billed with standard E/M and psychotherapy codes. These are provisional fee-schedule rates for illustration. Your actual rates get set in your payer contracts during credentialing. NM Medicaid figures reflect the state's 150%-of-Medicare minimum that took effect January 2025. The dosing day itself, administration and monitoring both, can't be billed to insurance before FDA approval. We route it to self-pay or the state Equity Fund and track it so it never ends up on a claim. If approval comes and coverage opens, turning monitoring billing on is a settings change, worth another $796 to $887 per dosing day at these rates.
Insurance revenue stacks on top of your cash model. Dosing days stay direct pay, and everything around them gets billed. Three credentialed clinicians doing twelve courses a month bring in roughly $8,000 to $10,000 a month that a cash-only clinic never sees, and it grows as your panel does. You pay a flat credentialing fee up front, then a percentage of what we actually collect.
Screening, prep, and integration go through the insurance a patient already has, Medicaid or commercial, the same way regular therapy does. They pay their normal copays. The dosing day is the one direct cost, and they know the exact amount before their first visit.
You got into this work for the people who need it, not just the ones who can pay cash for it. Insurance is how you reach the rest. We'll handle it.
