## Radiology Billing FAQs

Get answers to common questions about our radiology medical billing services, coding challenges, and revenue optimization strategies.

##

Common radiology claim denials include medical necessity issues for diagnostic tests, incorrect bundling of services, missing documentation for cardiac devices, improper use of modifiers, and lack of prior authorization for certain procedures. Our specialized denial management team addresses these issues proactively to minimize denials.

##

Our approach to cardiac device billing involves comprehensive documentation review, verification of device information (model, serial number), proper coding of the device and associated procedures, and ensuring all required elements for reimbursement are captured. We also manage manufacturer warranties and maintain accurate inventory tracking.

##

Our dedicated radiology coding specialists participate in ongoing education, specialty-specific training, and radiology coding certifications. We monitor updates from the American College of Radiology, attend radiology coding webinars, and maintain relationships with radiology specialty organizations to stay ahead of changes.

##

For cardiac catheterization procedures, we implement a specialized review process that includes verification of the specific approach, vessels accessed, imaging performed, interventions completed, and any complications. Our team understands the complex rules around cardiac cath coding, including proper use of modifiers and correct component coding.
