Medical billing and coding for Cardiology practices can be complex and come with their own set of challenges that are unique to this specialty.

Frequent changes to coding and billing regulations have led to substantial fee reductions in cardiology over the last several years.  While Medicare fees have increased by 1.1%, Medicare fees for Cardiology have declined by almost 2% year over year.   These changes  often lead to billing errors and reduced payment, especially if your billing is not on top of it. If your cardiology billing department is not fully aware of these ongoing changes and the necessary protocols and processes to ensure claims don’t fall through the cracks. You may see a significant negative impact on your practice’s bottom line and revenue leakage that may go undetected.

Billing specifics such as checking medical necessity verification, and getting Prior Authorizations, even at times when you feel you did not need one.
