Radiology Billing Services Built to Get You Paid in Full for Every Study You Read
Medi Billing handles the full billing cycle for imaging centers and radiology groups across the country. As a trusted radiology medical billing company, we take care of insurance checks, charge entry, claim filing, and payment follow-up for every type of scan your practice runs. We help you get paid faster, cut down on lost revenue, and keep steady cash flow coming in every month.
Why Radiology Practices Lose Revenue Without the Right Billing Support
Your practice runs on precision. Every scan, from a routine X-ray to a complex MRI with contrast, carries its own coding rules, its own bundling rules, and its own split between the technical and professional side of the claim. One missed code or one wrong modifier can cost your practice thousands of dollars before a claim even reaches the payer. That is why radiology practices trust a radiology billing company that works only on imaging accounts. We apply these rules correctly from the start and keep your claims moving instead of letting them stall as denials.
Dependable Radiology Medical Billing Services
Coverage and Authorization Checks
We check each patient's coverage and imaging benefits before every scheduled scan. We confirm if the payer needs prior approval for higher-cost imaging like MRI, CT, or PET. We get that approval before the patient walks in, so no scan is ever done against a claim that is already headed for denial.
Procedure Coding and Charge Entry
Our trained radiology coders go through each report and pick the right CPT code based on the scan type, the number of views, and whether contrast was used. They match it with the correct ICD-10 diagnosis code and the right professional (26) or technical (TC) modifier. Every charge is checked before it goes out.
Denial Management and Appeals
We review every denied claim on the same day it comes in. We find out why it was denied, whether it is a bundling issue, a missing part of the report, or a missing approval. Then we send in a full appeal with all the needed paperwork before the payer's deadline.
Accounts Receivable Recovery
Payments are logged within 24 to 48 hours and checked against the agreed rate for each payer. If a payment comes in short, we flag it right away. If a balance sits unpaid for more than 30 days, we start actively chasing it down.
Radiologist Credentialing and Enrollment
We handle credentialing and payer enrollment for every radiologist on your team, including new hires and fill in staff. This way, a delayed enrollment never holds up payment for scans that have already been read.
Monthly Performance Reporting
Every month, you get a clear report showing your collections, denial patterns, unpaid balances, and revenue by scan type. Your account manager walks you through it live. This close attention is part of what sets our radiology medical billing work apart from other medical billing providers.

FAQs About Radiology Billing Services
Radiology uses CPT codes 70000 to 79999. These cover diagnostic imaging, ultrasound, CT, MRI, nuclear medicine, and mammography. The right code depends on body part, number of views, and contrast use. A wrong code means less money collected.
Most commercial payers and many Medicare Advantage plans need prior approval for advanced imaging like MRI, CT, and PET. Rules change by diagnosis and payer. We check approval status before every scan is booked, so nothing gets done without coverage.
Modifier 26 covers the professional part when a radiologist reads a scan done on another facility's equipment. Modifier TC covers the technical part. Modifier 59 marks separate procedures done on the same day. Wrong modifiers lead to automatic denials.
Imaging visits often include several views, contrast, and both a technical and professional part, each with its own rules. A general biller often misses these details and undercodes the claim. A dedicated specialist catches every billable part and gets you paid in full.
We first check if approval existed and was listed correctly on the claim. If it was valid, we appeal right away with proof attached. If it was missing, we send a late request with the radiologist's report and stay on it until it is paid.
Most practices are fully set up within 5 to 7 business days. As an outsourced medical billing radiology partner, we handle system setup, provider profiles, and payer enrollment during onboarding, so billing never stops during the switch.
