Cardiology Billing

Yes. All coding is performed by certified coders, and specialty assignment is deliberate rather than incidental — professional and technical component splits, plus global periods that make bundling denials look like coverage denials.

Three causes account for most of it: component billed twice across settings; bundling denials mistaken for non-coverage; secondary claims never crossing over. Each is a documentation or process failure rather than a coverage dispute, which is why we report denials grouped by cause instead of as a single rate.

A heavily Medicare-weighted panel, so contractor policy and secondary-payer sequencing drive a large share of outcomes. That shapes which denials are worth appealing and where the front-end effort should sit, so it drives how we staff the work rather than being background color.

No. Payment is decided by the payer, and any firm promising a collection rate is describing something it does not control. We commit to the process and to six reported numbers you can check against your own system.

Codes are assigned from the documentation the practice provides, and where the record does not support a code we raise a query rather than infer intent. The clinical record and the certification of medical necessity remain the practice's, and claims go out under the provider's own National Provider Identifier.
