What is HRI Managed?
HRI Managed is our billing engagement, offered two ways. In full-service billing, we run it from verification through appeals. In Hybrid, we split the steps with your team on one written list of who owns what.
Do you credential individual providers?
We do. CAQH setup and maintenance, insurance credentialing and re-credentialing, payer contracting, state licensing support, and accreditation readiness are all available on their own, each priced in writing. Individual clinicians and group practices hire us for those without a billing engagement.
Can you help us get licensed or accredited?
Yes, as their own priced services. We assemble the applications, organize the documentation, and get the operational side ready for review. Approval decisions belong to the state and the accreditor. Readiness is the part you can control, and that is the part we handle.
Can you build our insurance billing from scratch?
Yes. We build the revenue operation end to end for programs entering insurance, new facilities, and operations that need a rebuild. It starts with an assessment that sets the written scope and a fixed price. We then roll the build out in stages your team can absorb, and once the operation is running it moves into HRI Managed.
What does a full-service behavioral-health billing firm handle day to day?
The whole revenue cycle, from the first benefit check to the final dollar collected, run by one accountable team. It covers nine connected functions, from benefit verification and authorizations through claims, payment posting, denials, and reporting by carrier and by period.
Will your team talk to our patients and families about their benefits?
We do. Our team handles the benefit conversations with patients and families directly, so your staff doesn't have to. It's one of the nine core functions of the engagement, worked by behavioral-health specialists.
Do we have to switch our EHR or clearinghouse to work with you?
No. You keep your EHR and your clearinghouse, and we do the work inside them. Our claims and eligibility checks run through clearinghouses such as Stedi, Availity, and Office Ally.
Are appeals included, or billed separately?
First-level appeals are part of the billing work itself: when a claim's record supports an appeal, we file it. Second-level and external or independent review are scoped in writing before they start, so nothing arrives as a surprise line item. We work every appeal in Parity, our behavioral-health appeals workspace.
What kind of reporting will we get?
A Friday report on every claim, showing its status, age, payer response, blocker, owner, deadline, and next action. Reimbursement is broken out by carrier and by period, and a monthly reconciliation ties payer payments to your deposits.
Can you recover money on old or denied claims, or is that gone?
Sometimes, yes. Denied and underpaid claims stay workable while the payer's timely-filing and appeal windows are open, and those vary by payer and contract, which is why we check before anything gets written off. We score the aged A/R for what is still collectible, correct and re-file the claims worth working, and track down payments that went to a patient or to the wrong entity. Balances a previous biller gave up on are not automatically gone.
How long is the commitment, and how do we exit?
The agreement runs annually and renews unless either side gives written notice ahead of the term; the notice window is printed in the agreement you sign. It also carries a performance gate early in live billing: if we materially miss our own standards there (clean claims out on time, the weekly report delivered), you can end the engagement without an early-exit fee. Either side can end it for uncured material breach, and ending early outside those paths carries an early-exit fee set out in the agreement. On any exit there is an orderly wind-down: you get a closing report of every claim in flight, and your data is returned or destroyed; it does not stay with us.
