Radiology billing is as detailed and intricate as the imaging it supports. With high-value diagnostic procedures like MRIs, CT scans, ultrasounds, and interventional radiology, the importance of precise coding and documentation cannot be overstated. At Care Point Medical Billing, we go beyond the surface to tackle the specific billing challenges faced by radiology practices, ensuring every service is properly documented and reimbursed at its full potential.
Challenges and How We Solve Them
Radiology spans various modalities, including diagnostic imaging, interventional procedures, and nuclear medicine. Each requires precise CPT and HCPCS coding to avoid underpayments or denials. At Care Point Medical Billing, our coders are specifically trained in radiology coding, ensuring accurate billing for services such as fluoroscopy-guided injections, PET scans, and angiographies.
Complex imaging like MRIs and CT-guided biopsies often require prior authorizations. Delays in obtaining these approvals can disrupt both workflows and revenue. Our team proactively handles the authorization process, ensuring that all payer-specific requirements are met promptly.
Radiology often involves multiple services in a single session, necessitating the use of modifiers like -26 (professional component) and -TC (technical component). Misuse or omission of these modifiers can result in denied claims. At Care Point Medical Billing, we ensure modifiers are applied correctly, capturing the full reimbursement for both professional and technical components.
Payers frequently bundle radiology services, particularly in cases involving advanced imaging sequences. Our team reviews payer policies meticulously, unbundling services where permissible and ensuring accurate reimbursement for each component of care.
Incomplete or unclear imaging orders can lead to rejections or audits. We collaborate with radiologists and referring providers to ensure imaging orders are detailed, including clear clinical indications and medical necessity justifications.
