Complete Cardiology Billing Services Built Around Your Practice

We provide comprehensive cardiology billing services designed around the way your practice actually operates.

Many Payers, Many Rulebooks
All Medicare, Medicaid, Anthem, Aetna, UnitedHealthcare, Cigna and Humana have their own coding edits, modifier requirements and timely filing windows. If one of the payerspecific rules is not met, the claim may be rejected or paid less.
Medicaid patients are often enrolled with a care management organization, and each one has its own portal, authorization process and claim requirements. Confirming the correct course of action beforehand prevents difficulties later which may lead to denials.
Georgia is part of the Palmetto GBA Medicare Administrative Contractor, and the local coverage determinations determine what is covered and what is denied. Medical necessity has to be documented for the services billed.
Specific authorization criteria are frequently altered and one of the most frequent reasons for being denied is due to an expired or lost authorization. When an eligibility or authorization check is done before the date of service, then your revenue is protected.
The frontline staff members are expected to schedule, verify, collect, code and chase claims concurrently. Rushing the billing leads to unpaid bills and unpaid balances accumulate.
Medicare and Medicaid can be a major factor for rural practices and may have the disadvantage of not allowing for any cash-flow delay, whereas metro groups have higher volume and more commercial contracts. Our billing process caters to both.
