Applying best practices for Cardiology Billing
Our team understands the list of codes and suitable modifiers given by CMS for cardiology billing and ensures that we stick to it. We apply different billing processes depending on whether the patient was an inpatient, outpatient, treated on the same day, or another day. Our specialists are aware that cardiac surgery preauthorization is essential to avoid authorization denials. We recommend the following best practices.
Use of Electronic Health Records. The use of EHR systems can help you ensure high-quality clinical documentation and can avoid wrong documentation. Cardiology, in particular, can and does see a lot of changes in procedures, and robust clinical documentation processes can help you be compliant.
Combo Codes. ICD-10 uses a lot of combination codes for different cardiology conditions. Our coders receive training on using these combination codes.
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.
Code for Diagnosis, not for Symptoms. Avoid coding for symptoms when they are not part of the treatment. Be sure about the Diagnosis and only code for the procedures performed and ailments treated. that are included.
