Rate Leverage

Turn the parity gap into a raise.

Federal parity law (MHPAEA) bars systematically worse behavioral-health pay. We score your BH codes against the medical-equivalent local-peer median and hand you the documented gap, the number behind the ask.

Why it exists

You are paid less for behavioral health, and it is provable.

Behavioral-health codes routinely reimburse below their medical equivalents, but most practices never put a number on the gap or connect it to MHPAEA. Payers count on that silence. Without the per-code figures against your local-peer median, a parity conversation stays a feeling instead of a documented case.

How it works

How Parity Gap works

STEP 1

Pull your BH rates

We map your contracted behavioral-health CPTs to the local-peer median and the P90 target from the rate index, per payer.

STEP 2

Compute the parity spread

Each BH code is scored 300-850 and expressed as a percent of its own local-market P90, then set against your best-paid medical code inside the same payer.

STEP 3

Build the leverage packet

One click assembles the gap plus the in-force MHPAEA citations into a one-page renegotiation memo, on-device, no PHI.
