Mental Health Collection Agency
Compassionate, Supportive Recovery for Behavioral Health Providers
Mental health billing and patient communication require exceptional care. Magellan Debt Recovery is a specialized mental health collection agency that supports behavioral health providers, therapists, counselors, psychiatrists, residential treatment centers, and community mental health organizations with empathetic, compliant, patient-first collections.
We understand that unresolved balances often stem from confusion, insurance complexities, or life circumstances—not unwillingness. Our approach rebuilds clarity and trust, helping patients take the next step while helping providers recover revenue with dignity.
