5 denial patterns that quietly drain 4–8% of revenue from behavioral health, ABA, and SUD practices every year:1. Parity-violation denials (federal law makes most appealable)2. 90837 → 90834 downcodes on mental health sessions3. 97153 unit-count rejections in ABA4. UR/level-of-care denials in SUD with expired appeal windows5. Aged AR backlog that crosses the 90-day cliffMost billing teams write these off because the appeals require specific framework knowledge. Each one is small. Together, it's real money — typically $400K–$1.6M/year leaving the practice.We run a free 30-day denial audit — no contract, no follow-up unless you ask. You get the numbers and a recovery roadmap.15 min: https://calendar.app.google/zF3c44hYGRjEf5U26
