Medical credentialing (the process insurance companies use to access the qualifications of a healthcare provider, to join their network) is necessary for healthcare professionals to participate in health plan networks, provide care to insured patients, and receive in-network payment for services.
Outsourcing medical billing and coding can lead to improved revenue outcomes by leveraging expertise, efficiency, technology, and strategic approaches to revenue cycle management. It enables healthcare providers to focus on delivering high-quality patient care while optimizing financial performance and practice growth.
At Open Door Billing LLC, we understand the critical balance between financial management and clinical excellence in mental health care. Our Revenue Cycle Audit service is meticulously designed to maximize your revenue and streamline efficiency, integrating key elements like calendaring, workforce development, software and minority business or disabled certifications.
At Open Door Billing, we are driven by the belief that mental health care should reflect the diversity of the communities it serves. I founded this company with a passion for bridging the gap in mental health services by ensuring cultural considerations are at the forefront of care. A major challenge in today’s system is the shortage of mental health professionals who not only share their clients’ backgrounds—whether in terms of race, faith, or culture—but who also accept health insurance. These barriers limit both access to critical care and the financial growth of these professionals.
Credentialing (the process used by insurance panels to qualify you) is a crucial step toward breaking down these barriers and expanding access to healing communities. My mission is to support you in navigating the complexities of credentialing and optimizing your practice’s revenue cycle management. By streamlining reimbursements and minimizing administrative burdens, I am dedicated to helping your practice thrive, so you can focus on what matters most: providing care to those who need it.
We collaborate closely with non-profit (501c3) organizations, as well as Non-Emergency Medical Transportation (NEMT) providers, to assist with the credentialing process for Medi-Cal. By helping other start-ups and non-profits navigate the complexities of insurance credentialing and reimbursement, we are making strides toward equitable healthcare access for all.
I strongly believed I could be of service in this area, so I first returned to college, ultimately receiving certificates of completion and I acquired:
National Certifications through NHA (National Healthcare Association)
Insurance Credentialing is the process of becoming affiliated with insurance companies. This allows a mental healthcare provider to accept third party reimbursement.
If you are fully licensed, there should be no problem locating insurance companies and third party payers for you to be credentialed with.
Education, training, licensure, certifications and work experience.
Yes, you have to agree to the terms and conditions in order to be an In Network provider.
Our Specialist will help you decide which panels will best fit your practice.
An Employee Assistance Program (EAP), is provided by your employer. An EAP is a voluntary, work-based program that offers free and confidential assessments, short-term counseling, referrals, and follow-up services to employees who have personal and/or work-related problems. EAPs have trained representatives that can evaluate the needs of the employee and connect them to the best resource to help with that need.
In most cases, it will take at least 30 days from the date the insurer receives a claim to when your mental health practice will receive reimbursement
This varies from insurer to insurer. Some insurers require claims to be filed very soon after services – 90 days is often a rule among private insurers.
Increased revenue, professional billing and coding companies have the experience and knowledge to optimize the billing process, leading to fewer claim denials and quicker reimbursements.

We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.
To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.
This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.
Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.
If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email
Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:
Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.
These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside it.
Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers).
Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs. There may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to
