Our Goal

Anita L. Theberge • December 29, 2019

The Behavioral Health Billing Collaborative, LLC seeks to establish a working collaboration with its clients. The goal is to establish long-term business relationships where clients view working with BHBC as an integral part of their own business plans.


BHBC works to ensure that both parties clarify the client's goals and desired outcomes. Once established, the process of coordinating with the client so that all pertinent information and the tools necessary to achieve those desired goals and outcomes are put into place. Periodic review of those goals will be performed in order to assess progress and to make adjustments accordingly.


BHBC is especially pleased to work with those behavioral healthcare professionals who view their practices and organizations as necessary to the community they serve. The ideal client is one who will seek to understand how revenue must be created and sustained in order for them to provide services, increase the size of their practices, or expand the scope of services they provide.


Clients who have a vision consistent with this model should view collaborating with BHBC as a competitive edge. The strategy for the client's business success is already baked into BHBC's vision.

Our Vision

By Anita L. Theberge • December 30, 2019
The Behavioral Health Billing Collaborative, LLC was created as a professional medical billing company to provide billing services, consultations and administrative support to solo practitioners and small to large group practices exclusively for the mental health specialties. The medical billing business serves as an important link among health care providers, patients, and their insurance companies. Without an efficient operation in place to ensure proper and consistent reimbursements, clinicians run the risk of not being able to provide much needed services. BHBC is dedicated to effectively collaborating with their clients in helping them to become more efficient, to increase revenue, and experience savings by outsourcing their medical billing. BHBC will also work with their clients around the various processes that support that effort. BHBC is committed to assisting their clients in successfully reaching their financial goals while ensuring they can provide much needed mental health services to their client base. The company is structured to provide services and support consistent with whatever stage a potential client may be in. Whether it is a new clinician looking for assistance starting their practice or an established group in need of support while transitioning to outsourcing their billing. Still another client may be those looking for a path to maximizing revenue. Having efficient systems within in the practice affords the client the ability to focus on the clinical aspects of their work.

Our Founder

By Anita L. Theberge • December 28, 2019
A young college student takes a part time job working for a psychiatrist and a social worker in their private practice. It would be her introduction to the world of medical billing. That young woman takes those skills and takes a full time job as a medical billing clerk at a community health center to support her young family. She strives and gains extensive knowledge not only in medical billing but in all the areas that support that discipline. She advances and becomes the Director of Patient Accounts where she oversees more than a dozen staff members who work as frontline clinical administrators, administrative support staff, billing staff and in referral management. She is an integral part the middle management team at the health center reporting directly to the Chief Financial Officer. She consistently interacts and collaborates with the other directors, her colleagues and members of upper management. She stays at the community health center for twenty-seven years. She takes a three-year break to explore other interests and ventures. Because she could, she did. It was remarkable. She re-enters the medical billing industry. This time it is as an account manager in a long-term, well established and successful medical billing company. She gains a new perspective. She continues to develop her craft in light of that new perspective. After four years, she decides it is time for a new venture. Over the course of those many years, she has had the opportunity to know and work with many professionals in the industry both personally and professionally. Along the way, she has come to respect and admire those clinicians who have dedicated their life’s work as mental health professionals providing help to those in need. She has fostered long-term relationships and developed new relationships with many professionals in and around the industry. Those same individuals have provided their expertise, knowledge and the support she needed to launch her business. She has become dedicated to performing meaningful work by collaborating with those in the mental health industry. My name is Anita L. Theberge and I am the founder and owner of The Behavioral Health Billing Collaborative, LLC.
