Free Tool to Check Reimbursement for Integrated Care

If you’ve ever tried to figure out what different payers actually reimburse for behavioral health services, you know it’s confusing.

The National Council for Mental Wellbeing created a free tool that helps. It lists dozens of CPT codes, compares 2024 Medicare rates to average commercial plan rates, and shows which licenses can bill each code.

Why It’s Helpful

This tool gives a quick, realistic picture of what different services might bring in, before you hire or expand.
It’s especially useful if you’re planning integrated care between behavioral health and primary care.

Once you know the codes and rates, you can model what that looks like for your own practice using our calculator:

It lets you plug in salaries, benefits, and payer mix to see if a new position or service is financially sustainable.

Quick Example

Let’s say you want to add a care coordinator.
You can look up the codes they’d use, check what payers reimburse, then plug those numbers into the calculator to see if the math works. That’s it : clear, simple, and data-driven.
