What this page covers
Behavioral health has more demand than many practices can staff a phone for, and, for insurance-based practices, an eligibility and claim load on every visit. New clients wait on hold to book, recurring visits need consistent confirmation, and mental-health benefits carry parity rules worth checking. Flexbone automates the intake, scheduling, and billing work so clinicians see patients instead of chasing paperwork.
How does AI schedule and run intake for a behavioral health practice?
AI answers the phone, runs new-client intake, and books and confirms the recurring visits that behavioral health depends on. A new client who cannot reach the practice books elsewhere, and standing weekly or biweekly appointments need steady confirmation to hold. Flexbone answers inbound calls, runs new-client intake, books and confirms recurring visits in SimplePractice or TherapyNotes, and runs the reminder and confirmation cadence that reduces no-shows, a persistent drain in behavioral health. It fills openings from a waitlist so a cancellation does not become idle clinician time.

In 30 minutes we map your current volume, the payers and systems involved, where staff time goes, and the highest-ROI calls and follow-ups Flexbone can take off your team first, scoped to the work you actually run.
Can AI verify eligibility and mental-health parity for a behavioral health practice?
Yes. AI runs the 270/271 eligibility check and confirms the mental-health benefit before each session, which matters because parity rules and visit limits vary by plan. Behavioral health carries a claim on every session, and Medicaid behavioral coverage often differs across states. Flexbone verifies eligibility and mental-health benefits before the visit, codes and submits claims with the right CPT and place-of-service, submits the 278 prior authorization where a service such as psychological testing, TMS, or a higher level of care requires it, and follows up on denials by reading the 835 remittance and its CARC and RARC codes. The therapy and behavioral prior authorization page covers the authorization detail.
How Flexbone runs a behavioral health practice
Flexbone deploys voice and browser agents inside SimplePractice, TherapyNotes, or your behavioral health EHR. The front office gets intake, scheduling, reminders, and no-show recovery. The back office, for insurance-based practices, gets eligibility and parity checks, claim submission, authorization where needed, and denial follow-up. Results write back to the chart, and anything clinical or sensitive is routed to staff with context. The rollout is scoped to your visit types, the payers you bill, and your self-pay mix.
