Specialized Billing for Radiology Practices

Radiology practices provide critical diagnostic imaging services, including X-rays, CT scans, MRIs, ultrasounds, and interventional procedures. Billing for radiology is complex due to the separation of technical and professional components, high-cost procedures, and strict payer guidelines. At Apple Med Billing, we help radiology practices ensure accurate coding and timely reimbursement while reducing claim denials.

Why Radiology Billing is Challenging

Radiology billing presents unique challenges, including:

Technical vs. Professional Components

Imaging services often have separate codes for equipment usage and physician interpretation.

High-Cost Procedures

Advanced imaging like MRIs, CT scans, and interventional radiology procedures require precise coding to prevent denials.

Multiple Modifiers

Proper use of modifiers is essential for repeat imaging, bilateral procedures, and different service scenarios.

Payer-Specific Rules

Different insurance companies may have unique requirements for authorization, coverage, and documentation.

Bundled Services

Some procedures are bundled, requiring careful coding to avoid underpayment.

High Audit Risk

Radiology claims are frequently audited due to high reimbursement amounts.
