Extensive coverage of diverse Radiology medical billing
Radiology medical billing requires significant knowledge of CPT codes and appropriate modifiers. As radiologists, you may be bound by diagnostic priorities that limit your exposure to medical billing.
Clinical priorities cannot be excuses for failed medical billing, resulting in delay, denial, or resubmission of claims. Medical Billers and Coders offers to mitigate such adverse billing results with streamlined medical billing management for the entire range of radiology services such as:
-
CPT code 73100 (x-ray examination wrist 2 views, both left and right) coded as CPT 73100RT & CPT 73100LT modifiers can also be coded as CPT73100-50 modifier
-
Our experts updates for 2013 include that the CPT codes 78000 & 78001 codes( thyroid single & multiple determination) have been replaced by a single CPT code 78012
-
While billing for CPT code 72040 (x-ray cervical spine)which was 2-3 views in 2012, has now been replaced by 3 views in 2013
Radiology billing is among the most interpretation-driven specialties in healthcare — with reimbursement tied directly to imaging modality specificity, technical versus professional component differentiation, contrast administration documentation, and the precise capture of laterality and body region distinctions that must be established with precision on every study.
MBC acts as your Revenue Integrity Partner by ensuring that every radiology procedure is coded to its highest defensible specificity, MIPS reporting requirements are met, and payer policies around global versus split billing, teleradiology arrangements, and bundling rules for multi-sequence imaging studies are applied correctly — so your practice retains every dollar it clinically justifies.

Radiology practices lose significant revenue through undercoded imaging studies, missed contrast and guidance add-on codes, and incorrectly billed technical and professional component splits that payers routinely bundle or deny without pushback.
MBC's Revenue Diagnostic evaluates your radiology billing at the procedure and payer level — identifying where imaging complexity and modality specificity are being undercaptured, which interventional, diagnostic, and teleradiology claims are being denied and why, and how your AR aging compares against specialty benchmarks. The output is a clear, actionable breakdown of the revenue your radiology practice is currently leaving uncollected.
That is why majority of diagnostic centers across the 50 states in the U.S. make use of our billing services for a variety of diagnostic modalities, such as x-ray radiography, ultrasound, computed tomography (CT), nuclear medicine, positron emission tomography (PET) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and interventional radiology.
