What certification is best to get for Behavioral Health outpatient services ? About for professional billing for Mental Health services. I am a social worker that works in mental health. I would like to have a coding certification. Thanks

Most certifications are going to be less than 10% applicable to mental health, with a whopping 90% applicable to things you don't do. I'm not saying don't do it; I'm saying that most of us (I was in mental health for 15 years before going to pain management), learn more from each other.
