There is no single organization that can accurately be identified as the largest provider of mental health services in the United States. Mental health care is delivered through a broad network of psychiatrists, psychologists, clinical social workers, therapists, community mental health organizations, hospitals, outpatient clinics, and behavioral health facilities.
Medicaid is one of the largest sources of mental health and behavioral health coverage in the country, but it is a payer, not a direct provider of mental health care. For providers, managing insurance requirements, coding, claims, authorizations, and reimbursements is an important part of maintaining a healthy revenue cycle.
