Therapists using measurement-based care can justify 20–50% higher reimbursement per session. TheraSignal gives you the clinical documentation, the session data, and the objective outcomes to back it up — starting today.
There are three ways TheraSignal improves your billing. One you can use immediately. One coming online in the next year. One that's the future of digital mental health coverage.
reimbursement per session
You're already billing 90834 or 90837 for your sessions. The question is whether your documentation justifies the higher code — and whether payers can push back with denials. TheraSignal's objective session data changes that equation. Affect timelines, session engagement scores, and symptom trajectory data create a paper trail that payers can't argue with.
Objective session documentation. Each session generates an affect timeline, engagement score, and key moment log. When you submit a 90837 claim for a 53-minute session, you have time-stamped evidence of clinical depth — not just a therapist's note.
Payer denial defense. Insurance companies routinely deny 90837 claims claiming sessions weren't long or complex enough. TheraSignal's session data gives you a documented clinical record to appeal with — and win.
Outcome tracking over time. When you show a payer that your patients are getting measurably better — tracked session by session via PHQ-9/GAD-7 correlates — you're demonstrating the clinical value of your work. Payers pay more for evidence-based practice.
No new codes needed. You continue billing exactly as you do today. TheraSignal improves the documentation behind your existing claims — no new billing workflows, no new insurance contracts.
per patient per month, on top of sessions
As of January 2025, Medicare and many commercial payers now reimburse therapists for monitoring patients between sessions. RTM codes 98975–98981 allow you to bill for the time you spend reviewing patient-reported data and communicating with patients outside of scheduled appointments. TheraSignal's between-session monitoring features are built precisely for this pathway.
For a practice with 20 active patients billing RTM, this adds $600–1,000 per month in new revenue without adding sessions.
Patient onboards with TheraSignal. They're set up to submit mood, symptom, and behavior data 2–3 times per week from their phone. You bill 98975 once for their initial setup.
Patient data flows into your dashboard. Between sessions, you see their mood trajectories, practice adherence, and any flagged changes in symptom patterns. All timestamped, all documented.
Monthly review + one touchpoint. Spend 20 minutes reviewing the month's data. Send your patient a brief message or discuss in session. That's your 98976 — documented and billed.
Stack on top of session codes. RTM codes can be billed in the same month as 90834 and 90837. They're additive — not a replacement for your session billing.
No FDA clearance required. Unlike DMHT codes, RTM codes don't require your software to be FDA-cleared. You just need a connected device that captures patient-reported data — which TheraSignal is.
Payer coverage as of 2025: Medicare now covers RTM codes for behavioral health. Commercial payers including Cigna, UnitedHealth, and Aetna are actively expanding RTM coverage in 2025–2026. TheraSignal will provide up-to-date payer coverage lists as we roll out RTM billing support.
