Cardiology Billing Services

With rapidly evolving technologies and complex diagnostic protocols, cardiology billing is best done by experts. Constant advancements in the specialty are leading to complex, ever-changing codes for almost all procedures. In addition to this, the physicians do not have the time to manage billing and coding of cardiology services they deliver.

In cardiology billing, there is always a chance for upcoding or under-coding a procedure. As frequent changes in codes occur in procedures such as iliac repair, angioplasty, stent replacement, ECG recording, etc., cardiology practices lose a large amount of revenue to erroneous billing.

• Compliant coding is critical. By providing regular training to both coders and clinicians, you can stay updated on the constantly changing coding and billing guidelines and ensure compliant coding.
