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experts updates for 2013 include that the CPT codes 78000 & 78001 codes( thyroid single & multiple determination) have been replaced by a single CPT code 78012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While billing for CPT code 72040 (x-ray cervical spine)which was 2-3 views in 2012, has now been replaced by 3 views in 2013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.
