We run behavioral health billing, credentialing, automation and practice operations for psychiatry, PMHNP and outpatient groups, inside the systems you already use and under your own Tax ID. Every package price is published, and you’ll have the scope in writing before we start.
Running a growing psychiatry clinic as the sole owner means you wear every hat, and at some point, I realized I had become the bottleneck holding us back. Ryan and his team at AdvanceAPractice helped me open that up.
They reorganized our workflows, improved how our team communicates, and brought in smart automation and AI-driven solutions that have saved us measurable time and money. The operational visibility alone has been a game-changer.

AdvanceAPractice has provided a great benefit to my growing practice. They clearly explained the confusing insurance billing process and helped me create a plan to expand my business.
John Benson, PMHNP-BCOwner, BBH Psychiatric Services
I struggled with the task for several months and only got more confused in the process. Between the various insurance companies I am credentialed with and not even knowing what I didn’t know, it was a scary maze.
AdvanceAPractice came in, handled it with confidence and good communication, and helpfully led me through my transition questions with patience. The fee was well worth the assistance I received. Highly recommend!

What I appreciate most is that they understood our world, behavioral health, psychiatric services, a small team doing meaningful work. They didn’t just bring tools; they brought a real operating perspective. Our team can focus on patient care now, which is exactly what we needed.

Thank goodness for AdvanceAPractice!! I am a private practice LMFT, and over this last year I had been trying to switch over to working under my S corp status.

I’m Ryan Berg, founder of AdvanceAPractice. I’ve run the business side of practices for more than 16 years. I worked claims at OHSU, managed finance for a dental group as it grew from two clinics to six, and ran operations at ValueCore Mental Health, where I hired and led more than 30 clinicians and staff while revenue grew from $2 million to $6 million. Today I work directly with owners on everything behind the visit: billing, payer contracts, hiring, systems and the next location.
A solo PMHNP owner set out to add his first provider and found two of his own payer contracts broken, one denying every claim as out of network. He ended as a two provider group with a third onboarding.
Renegotiating Contracted Rates That Were Years Out Of Date
A payer’s fee schedule still reflected the state the owner had left years earlier. After four attempts over three months, the payer raised contracted rates on seven service codes at once.
Taking Over The Entire Revenue Cycle For A Therapy Group
A multi clinician therapy group moved its whole billing operation to us at once, from claims and appeals to payment posting and patient collections, while we handled provider transfers and credentialing across Medicaid and five commercial plans.
Moving A Therapist’s Billing Into Her Own Corporation
A therapist had handled her own billing for ten years. Her new corporation needed coordinated payer records, directory updates and payment enrollment, plus clear guidance on billing under the new business.
