Radiology Billing Services

Radiology Billing:

Why Accuracy Matters

Radiology involves interpreting and reporting diagnostic images for a wide range of health conditions. Billing for these services requires precise coding for both the technical and professional components, along with strict compliance with payer guidelines and modifiers. For many providers, the process is complex, time-sensitive, and detail-heavy.

Outsourcing to a specialized RCM partner like CodeCure ensures every report is documented properly, codes are applied correctly, and claims are submitted quickly, helping you maximize reimbursement while focusing on patient care.

We Understand Radiology Billing Codes Best

Radiology billing requires in-depth knowledge of CPT, ICD-10, and HCPCS codes, including modifier usage and component separation. Our certified coders ensure claims are compliant and accurate for all imaging services.

Diagnostic Imaging Codes

Precise coding for X-rays, CT scans, MRIs, and ultrasounds ensures correct payment.

Interventional Radiology Codes

Accurate billing for complex image-guided procedures prevents revenue loss.

Preventive Screening Codes

Proper coding for mammograms and other screenings meets payer requirements.

Nuclear Medicine Codes

Expert handling of PET scans and radionuclide imaging minimizes denials.

Professional & Technical Components

Accurate split billing ensures proper reimbursement for both reading and performing services.

Radiology Billing Challenges

High Complexity of Coding

Radiology involves a vast range of procedure codes, often requiring multiple modifiers for a single study.

Strict Documentation Requirements

Detailed reports are essential to support medical necessity for high-cost imaging.

Frequent Policy Updates

Medicare and commercial payers frequently revise coverage policies for imaging services.

Prior Authorization Delays

Advanced imaging like MRI, CT, and PET often require pre-approvals that can delay both diagnosis and payment.

Bundling & Unbundling Rules

Misunderstanding NCCI edits can lead to denials or underpayments.

RCM

Our radiology revenue cycle management (RCM) services focus on compliance, speed, and maximizing reimbursements while minimizing operational strain.

  • We confirm insurance coverage and imaging benefits before services are rendered to avoid denials and collect upfront payments.
  • All imaging services are accurately captured, coded, and reconciled to eliminate revenue leakage.

  • We provide in-depth reports that highlight payer performance, denial trends, and reimbursement patterns for informed decision-making.

CREDENTIALING

Radiology credentialing requires navigating complex payer processes, verifying provider qualifications, and ensuring compliance with hospital and imaging center requirements. We take care of this process from start to finish, so radiologists can focus on patient care instead of paperwork. Our credentialing team handles:

  • Initial payer enrollment applications
  • CAQH, PECOS, and NPI updates
  • Hospital and imaging center privileging
  • Ongoing credentialing maintenance and re-credentialing

Our Radiology EHR solution is designed to meet the needs of imaging centers, teleradiology groups, and hospital radiology departments. It streamlines documentation, reporting, and billing while improving clinical efficiency. Key features include:

  • Tailored templates for X-rays, MRIs, CT scans, PET scans, ultrasounds, and interventional radiology.
  • Seamless integration with Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS) and Radiology Information Systems (RIS).
  • Built-in clinical guidelines and quality measure tracking to ensure evidence-based imaging and payer compliance.
  • Automatic coding prompts for CPT/ICD-10 with modifier suggestions to minimize claim errors.
  • Secure portals for report sharing, appointment scheduling, and virtual consultations
