RADIOLOGY BILLING FAQ

Common Questions About Radiology Billing and Coding.

What does radiology medical billing include? +

Radiology medical billing can include eligibility verification, authorization review, charge capture, coding, professional and technical component review, claim submission, payment posting, denial management, and accounts receivable follow-up.

What radiology services can be included in a billing workflow? +

Depending on the practice and documented services, workflows can include X-ray, CT, MRI, ultrasound, mammography, nuclear medicine, PET, SPECT, diagnostic imaging, interventional radiology, and applicable image-guided procedures.

What are professional and technical components in radiology billing? +

Certain diagnostic and radiology services can have a professional component representing physician work and a technical component associated with the technical resources used to perform the service. Applicable component reporting should follow the code and payer rules.

What is modifier 26 in radiology billing? +

Modifier 26 is used for the professional component of applicable services when that component is reported separately. The specific code must support separate component reporting and the claim should follow the applicable payer requirements.

What is the TC modifier in radiology billing? +

The TC modifier identifies the technical component of applicable diagnostic or radiology services when that component is reported separately. Component reporting depends on the code and applicable payer rules.

Why is the radiology report important for billing? +

The radiology report connects the imaging study with the physician's interpretation and documented findings. Billing workflows should maintain alignment among the order or indication, performed study, interpretation, diagnosis, and submitted code.

Do radiology studies require prior authorization? +

Prior authorization requirements vary by payer, imaging modality, diagnosis, service, patient benefits, and health plan. Verification should be completed according to the applicable payer requirements.

What coding systems are used for radiology billing? +

Radiology billing workflows may involve CPT, ICD-10-CM, HCPCS, professional and technical component reporting, applicable modifiers, NCCI edits, MUE considerations, and payer-specific claim requirements.

Why are NCCI edits important in radiology coding? +

NCCI procedure-to-procedure edits help identify code combinations that may represent incorrect coding when reported together. Applicable edits should be reviewed before claim submission.

Can you help with radiology claim denials and A/R? +

Denial and A/R workflows can include claim status review, authorization and eligibility checks, coding and documentation review, component analysis, payer communication, payment posting, and follow-up on unresolved balances.
