Local Expertise
Long Beach sits between Los Angeles and Orange County, with MemorialCare, St. Mary Medical Center, and the VA Long Beach Healthcare System serving the region’s healthcare needs. The behavioral health market in Long Beach reflects the area’s diverse population, with significant Medi-Cal enrollment and VA-connected patients seeking mental health services alongside commercially insured individuals. This payer mix requires behavioral health billing teams that can navigate Medi-Cal managed care, VA, and commercial session limits and authorization rules simultaneously.
Cosentus, through our SiMed division, delivers full-cycle behavioral health billing and revenue cycle management tailored to the Long Beach market. Our team handles coding for psychiatry, therapy, IOP/PHP, medication management, and telehealth across Medi-Cal, VA, commercial, and Medicare. Session limits are tracked, authorizations are managed, and every claim is coded by behavioral health specialists.
