NEW UPDATES FOR 2026
Coding often feels confusing, overwhelming, or inconsistent.
Many providers under-code for their work, leaving valuable revenue on the table.
Or worse... they struggle to justify their billing during an audit.
It’s not because care wasn’t provided, but because documentation doesn’t clearly show what auditors are looking for. In 2026, AI-driven reviews are increasingly flagging vague notes and triggering downcoding.
The Coding Companion (2026) is a practical guide for Psych NPs who want to deliver meaningful psychotherapy AND bill appropriately.
Demystify billing and coding so you can:
Confidently bill for the full scope of your work
Demonstrate what auditors are looking for with ease
Streamline documentation without second-guessing
Protect both your time and your income
Clear breakdowns of time-based and medical decision-making (complexity-based) coding

Sample notes, templates, & documentation examples you can model in your own practice
