Common Challenges in Radiology Medical Billing
As a Radiologist, you might also be facing any of these issues:
NCCI Edits and MPPR: These Medicare and Payer compliance rules prevent unbundling of procedures and reduce reimbursement for multiple services performed on the same patient.
Pre-Authorization: Many high-cost imaging services require pre-authorization from the payer.
Professional vs. Technical Component: Billing for the radiologist’s interpretation separately from the facility’s equipment costs requires detailed separation to avoid denials.
Correct Billing for Contrast Agents: Claims for imaging studies are often denied if contrast agents are not billed correctly using specific codes and documentation.
