OUR SERVICES

Expert advisory across every dimension of behavioral health

We advise on program design, staffing models, regulatory alignment, billing workflows, third party vendor auditing, and GDR programs.

01

Program Design & Launch

Maximize legitimate Medicare Part B revenue from behavioral health CPT codes. We train your team on consolidated billing exclusions, modifiers, place-of-service codes, and compliant claim submission and build the documentation that supports every claim.


02

Third-Party Audit Vendor

When behavioral health is delivered by a third party, the citations, the documentation gaps, and the survey exposure still land on your license. Sentinel provides independent, conflict free audits of your behavioral health vendors

Billing Optimization

Clinician Credentialing

Guidance on enrolling PMHNPs, LCSWs, LMFTs, and LMHCs as Medicare providers, including expanded billing eligibility effective January 1, 2024 under CAA 2023 §4121. We manage the sequence so your clinician can bill from day one.

05

Gradual Dose Reduction (GDR) programs

We design and operationalize gradual dose reduction programs that satisfy F758, improve your CMS Five Star rating, and reduce census risk driven by antipsychotic quality measures without destabilizing residents.We also have developed the Sentinel GDR Tracker © as purpose built app that automates psychotropic stewardship across your census. Every psychotropic. Every GDR clock. Every resident. One dashboard.
