What Common Billing Challenges Do Radiology Practices Face in California?
Radiology practices in California face multiple billing challenges, which are explained below:
- Medi-Cal Timely Filing & Compliance: Claims are to be submitted within 90 days of service. Late or incomplete submissions mostly result in denials and lost revenue.
- High CPT Coding Complexity: Radiology procedures use a wide range of CPT codes and modifiers, such as -26 and -TC, increasing the risk of errors.
- California Workers’ Compensation Billing Rules: Title 8 §9792.5 mandates the use of specific claim forms (CMS-1500 or UB-04). Errors can cause rejections or audit penalties.
- Prior Authorization & Medical Necessity: Many imaging services, such as CT, MRI, and interventional procedures, require prior authorization. Incorrect documentation can delay reimbursement.

Transcure’s California radiology billing services proactively validate report language, align clinical documentation with CPT and ICD-10 codes, and detect underpayments in high-cost imaging such as PET, CTA, and interventional procedures.
