Recover the revenue your behavioral health facility already earned.
Payers deny a large share of behavioral health claims — and most facilities never fight back. Blackgate is a forensic audit team that finds the money, recovers it, and fixes the process so the losses stop recurring.
We audit and recover — we don't replace your billing team.
Illustrative snapshot — not a client result. Actual recovery depends on your payer mix and denial history.
Clinicians built your facility. Nobody built your billing.
Behavioral health facilities are opening faster than ever to meet a national shortage. They're run by people who are exceptional at care — and were never meant to be experts in payer contracts, denial codes, and appeals.
So insurers deny, underpay, and delay. Because fighting each claim takes time and specialized knowledge, most denials are simply written off. That's real, earned revenue that never gets collected — every billing cycle, forever.
The losses aren't a one-time event. They compound, quietly, every month you don't audit.
- Denied claims that are never appealed
- Payments quietly landing below contracted rates
- Services rendered but never billed at all
- Coding errors that trigger automatic denials
- Authorizations mismanaged before care begins
A forensic audit team for your claims data.
We don't sell you software and walk away. We investigate your denials the way a forensic accountant works a ledger — find the root cause, recover what's owed, and repair the process.
Forensic claims audit
We analyze your denial and remittance data claim-by-claim to expose the patterns behind lost revenue — the codes, payers, and process gaps quietly draining your bottom line.
Revenue recovery
We rework, appeal, and resubmit denied and underpaid claims still inside their filing window — turning written-off losses back into collected, earned revenue.
Process repair
We correct the root causes — coding, authorization, documentation — so the same denials stop recurring cycle after cycle, not just this quarter.
