RADIOLOGY BILLING SERVICES
Radiology Billing Services
Decreasing reimbursement rates, rising infrastructure expenses, and changes in payer mix pose challenges for radiology practices. It's more crucial than ever to ensure you can maximize reimbursements and sustain profits.
The unique aspects of billing for radiology services can be demanding for radiologists. It involves using imaging techniques for both diagnosing and treating diseases. Radiology has many complexities due to its continually evolving advanced technology and treatment methods. There are often new additions to the billing codes (CPT codes) used for radiology services, requiring constant attention.
Unlike other medical specialties, Radiology involves two billing components: the professional component and the technical component. When radiologists use radiology equipment, dyes, and machines, they must bill under the technical elements. When they interpret diagnostic results, they bill under the professional component.
Our team comprises certified, trained billers and coders who grasp the intricacies of radiology billing. They understand the impact on a radiology practice's revenue if differentiation between the professional and technical components of radiology billing is overlooked.
