Cardiology Billing Services
We understand that managing cardiology billing requires specialized knowledge due to the rapidly evolving technologies and complex diagnostic procedures involved. The constantly evolving nature of this specialization leads to complicated and frequently changing codes for nearly all procedures. In addition, cardiologists typically do not have the time to oversee the billing and coding of the cardiac services they provide.
When it comes to billing for cardiology, there is always a risk of overcharging or undercharging for a procedure. Cardiology practices often lose a significant amount of money due to incorrect billing, as frequent code changes occur for treatments such as iliac repair, angioplasty, stent replacement, and ECG recording.
Our team consists of trained and certified coders and billers who stay up-to-date with the latest trends in cardiology billing. They possess technical expertise and are knowledgeable about the intricate MACRA regulations. We can help identify and resolve any issues with your billing system and increase revenue. Our cardiology expertise includes, but is not limited to:
Peripheral Studies
Diagnostic and Cardiological Procedures
Cardiac-Periphery interventions
Paediatric Cardiology
Nuclear Cardiology
Best practices for Cardiology Billing are being used
Our team specializes in following the CMS list of codes and appropriate modifiers for billing in cardiology. We use several billing procedures depending on the patient's status - inpatient, outpatient, treated on the same day, or treated on a subsequent day. Our medical professionals understand that preauthorization is necessary for cardiac surgery to avoid authorization denials. We recommend the following best practices:
● Electronic Health Records: Utilizing EHR systems can ensure excellent clinical documentation and prevent incorrect documentation. Robust clinical recording practices can help you stay compliant as procedures, particularly in cardiology, can and frequently do change.
● Combined Codes: Our coders are trained in the use of ICD-10 combination codes for certain cardiac disorders. ● Coding Compliance: Keeping up to date on the continuously changing coding and billing requirements and ensuring compliant coding by regularly providing training to both coders and physicians is crucial.
● Code for Diagnosis, not Symptoms: Do not code for symptoms when they are not involved in the treatment. Ensure the diagnosis is correct and only code for the actions taken and illnesses treated that are mentioned.
