What is HRI Managed?
Our engagement for facilities that already have billing running. You pick how much we take on: hand defined billing functions to us, or split the work with one written list of who owns what. Both carry the Friday claim report and a monthly reconciliation.
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. Programs entering insurance, new facilities, and operations that need a rebuild get the whole revenue operation built end to end. The assessment comes first, because no two programs need the same machine; it produces a written scope and a fixed price. The build rolls out in stages your team can absorb, and the finished operation runs under HRI Managed.
How does pricing work?
Every quote is built from your numbers. HRI Managed carries a monthly minimum set from your program; where we run the billing, we bill that minimum or a percentage of what we collect, whichever is greater, never both. Program builds are priced after the assessment, credentialing and licensing are priced per service, and extra work runs only on a written scope at a set hourly rate.
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. In practice that means six connected functions run by one accountable team: benefit verification, benefit conversations with patients and families, utilization review and authorizations, coding and claims with payment posting, reporting, and revenue-cycle operations consulting. Appeals are worked at every level, scoped to the engagement.
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 six core functions of the engagement, worked by behavioral-health specialists.
Do we have to switch our EHR or clearinghouse to work with you?
You keep your stack. Claims and eligibility run through established clearinghouses like Stedi, Availity, and Office Ally, and our team is fluent in the major behavioral-health EHRs. We work in the tools you already use.
Are appeals included, or billed separately?
First-level appeals are part of the Operator 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. Every appeal, at every level, runs through Parity, our behavioral-health appeals workspace.
What kind of reporting will we get?
Structured reporting with claim, authorization, collection, and payer-level visibility. Reimbursement comes broken out by carrier and by period, in a form ready for real decisions.
Can you recover money on old or denied claims, or is that gone?
Often it can still be collected. 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.
You don't have to start with a takeover. The smallest doors in: the no-cost billing review, a stand-alone recovery project on your aged A/R, or credentialing for a single provider. Each can grow into HRI Managed when you're ready. Bringing the leadership team along? Take the one-page overview (PDF).
