FAQ
PMHNP Questions We Hear Most
Can A PMHNP Bill Insurance Under Their Own Name?
Yes. Once enrolled, a PMHNP bills Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial payers under their own NPI. Medicare pays 85% of the physician fee schedule under the NP’s own NPI (42 CFR 414.56); some settings allow incident-to or split/shared at 100%. See our billing and coding guide.
How Is PMHNP Billing Different From Psychiatrist Billing?
Largely the same CPT codes. The difference is payment and enrollment: the Medicare 85% reduction, incident-to and supervision rules, and state Medicaid and scope policies.
How Long Does PMHNP Credentialing Take?
Plan for 60 to 120 days per payer, longer for Medicaid or closed panels. We manage the whole queue. See our credentialing guide.
Do You Work With Brand-New PMHNP Practices?
Yes. Once your legal, tax, and ownership decisions are complete, we coordinate the identifiers, payer enrollment, EHR, and billing setup included in your package. See how to start a PMHNP practice.
