This intensive is designed for psychologists, billers, coders, and practice administrators seeking practical, real-world guidance on navigating Oklahoma’s rapidly evolving behavioral health billing landscape. Through a combination of payer-led education, local expert insight, and collaborative problem-solving, participants will gain actionable strategies to improve authorizations, reduce denials, strengthen documentation, and streamline neuropsychological and autism-related billing workflows.

The session begins with the launch of the B&ON Network, a statewide “knowledge collective” designed to connect Oklahoma billing professionals in real time through organized payer-specific discussion channels and peer support. Participants will then hear directly from Managed Care Organization (MCO) representatives on what constitutes a successful authorization packet, including required documentation, medical necessity standards, autism and neurodevelopmental testing expectations, and common reasons requests are delayed or denied.

Additional training will focus on one of the most challenging areas in behavioral health billing: coding conflicts and bundling edits. Attendees will receive clear guidance on distinctions between evaluation versus administration/scoring codes, appropriate modifier use, same-day billing rules, and strategies to avoid common NCCI denial triggers. A local subject matter expert will also provide advanced billing insights for 2026, including telehealth modifier logic, compliant time tracking, Place of Service coding, and audit-ready documentation practices.

The program concludes with an interactive roundtable discussion where attendees can bring real-world denial examples, compare successful appeal language, and collaborate on solutions to persistent payer challenges. Participants will also receive practical “survival kit” handouts, including a payer authorization checklist and a 2026 modifier quick-reference guide.
