Recover the revenue your behavioral health facility has been writing off.
Airstream Consulting Group rebuilds the revenue cycle for treatment centers and behavioral health providers — then layers AI on top to cut denials, accelerate cash, and automate the work no one should be doing by hand.

Representative results across Airstream engagements. Your numbers will vary.
Behavioral health revenue is uniquely hard to capture.
Variable levels of care, prior-auth gauntlets, out-of-network claims, and payers who deny first and ask questions later. Generic billing shops weren't built for this. We were.
Denials are bleeding you
Medical-necessity and authorization denials quietly write off 8–15% of net revenue at most facilities — money that was earned and never collected.
Your team is buried
Skilled billers spend their days on eligibility checks, status calls, and re-keying data instead of working the claims that actually move cash.
You're flying blind
Without clean dashboards on denial reasons, A/R aging, and payer performance, leadership can't see the leaks until the bank balance does.
One partner for revenue and AI.
Most facilities stitch together a billing vendor, a consultant, and an IT contractor. Airstream is all three — aligned around a single metric: your net revenue.
