Rula psychiatric practitioner payments guide

Payment Overview

How often do I get paid?

You'll be paid every other week on Fridays according to the bi-weekly schedule outlined below for services delivered in the previous two weeks. 

We'll send you a preliminary invoice on Monday before uploading it to our vendor. This lets you view the billed sessions we plan to submit for payment. The final invoice will be available in Tipalti on Wednesday afternoon of the payment week.

How do I ensure on-time, full payment?

Sessions qualified for payment are pulled directly from AMD and reviewed by our provider payout team daily. You must complete visit documentation (session notes and charge slips) within 48 hours per the guidelines covered below. Timely documentation qualifies services for payment processing. Note: Rula reserves the right to reduce payment if documentation is late.

Why do I need to complete documentation within 48 hours? 

Adhering to the 48-hour documentation deadline:

• Ensures continuity of patient care
• Allows timely insurance billing
• Enables accurate payment processing

Any additional tips for getting paid on time and in full?

Always tie your documentation to a scheduled visit in AMD. If you change an appointment with a patient or schedule something last minute, it is best to update or input the schedule in AMD's appointment scheduler. After the schedule is correct, you can complete the documentation associated with this visit on the patient's timeline.

Please review the below video for best practices on how to view outstanding documentation.

Code Visits Accurately

You must adhere to the approved codes listed in this CPT Codes Psych Cheatsheet when submitting charge slips. Using incorrect codes will cause claims issues. Other essential tips for coding visits:

• Ensure that a TH modifier is submitted with all charge codes for a telemedicine appointment
• Crisis codes (90839 & 90840) should never be added to 90832-90837 but must be used on their own
• Z codes can never be primary. Please use F99 if no other codes are applicable
• Please use F codes for a diagnosis when submitting charge slips
• Do not add 95 modifiers when submitting charge slips
