Navigating The Complexities Of Radiology Billing With Expert Help

Coding and billing for radiology procedures involves assigning accurate codes for the various imaging procedures performed, such as X-rays, CT scans, MRI scans, ultrasound, nuclear medicine scans, and interventional radiology procedures.

Radiologists perform a broad spectrum of intricate treatments throughout the anatomy such as ablations, chemo-embolization, thrombolysis, balloon occlusions, dilation and stenting distant arteries. Regular coders are rarely familiar with these interventional radiology billing services or the interventional radiology-specific coding rules and edits. TriumpHealth’s expert coders step in to alleviate the pressure, ensuring accurate and efficient coding for all radiology reports.

Our Process

1

Patient Encounter Documentation

Radiology medical billing starts with thorough documentation of patient encounters. This includes recording detailed information about the radiology services provided, such as the type of imaging study performed, clinical indications for the study, findings, and interpretations by the radiologist.

2

Medical Coding

Assign appropriate medical codes to the documented radiology services using the relevant code sets, including CPT codes for the procedures performed (e.g., imaging studies such as X-rays, CT scans, MRI scans) and ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes to describe the reason for the study and any underlying conditions.

3

Claim Submission

Compile the coded information into claim forms (such as CMS-1500 for professional services or UB-04 for facility services) and submit them to insurance payers electronically or by mail. Ensure accuracy and completeness of the claims to minimize the risk of denials and delays in reimbursement.

4

Follow-up and Revenue Cycle Management

Monitor the status of submitted claims, track payments and denials, and follow up with payers as needed to resolve any issues. Implement effective revenue cycle management practices to optimize collections, minimize claim denials, and ensure timely reimbursement for radiology services provided. This may involve appealing denied claims, verifying patient insurance coverage, and managing patient billing inquiries and collections processes.
