Effective Jan. 1, 2024, your marriage and family therapists (MFT)and mental health counselors (MHC) can become qualified Medicare providers, allowing you to capture a new revenue stream and expand services to your patients.
The catch? You must get these providers through the PECOS enrollment process right now.
REQUIREMENTS: MFTs and MHCs must be licensed at the master’s level or above to see Medicare patients. To take advantage of this new reimbursement opportunity as soon as possible in 2024, you must set up these mental health providers in PECOS right now for them to become eligible Medicare providers.
The challenge is that there is a steep learning curve to correctly enrolling your providers into Medicare’s PECOS system (especially if you haven’t done it before). First, you must choose the correct application. Then, you must master the nuances of numerous fields and upload specifications. It only takes one mistake for your Medicare application to be denied — delaying your ability to get paid for seeing Medicare patients.
Why risk facing these obstacles alone when you’ve got an expert who wants to help? Credentialing and enrollment expert Yesenia Servin, CPMSM, PESC, will walk you through exactly how to get your mental health and marriage therapists and family counselors into Medicare’s PECOS enrollment system correctly the first time.
