Cardiology Medical Billing Services

As medical science advances in the diagnosis and treatment of heart disease, so does the complexity of billing and coding for cardiology services.

Advances in research in the diagnosis and treatment of heart disease

Cardiology has seen remarkable advances in diagnostic techniques and treatment methods, which have improved patient outcomes. From advanced imaging modalities such as cardiac MRI and CT angiography to minimally invasive procedures such as transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) and percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI), the field of cardiology is evolving. These advances require accurate documentation, accurate coding, and adherence to coding guidelines to ensure optimal reimbursement and regulatory compliance.

Physician Doctorsbackoffice specializing in cardiology billing and coding services

DoctorsBackOffice is renowned for its expertise in cardiology billing and coding services. Our team consists of certified coders and billing professionals with in-depth knowledge of cardiology procedures, CPT codes, modifiers, and payer policies. We understand the nuances of cardiology billing, including interventional procedures, nuclear cardiology studies, cardiac surgery and heart failure management. By staying up-to-date with industry changes and regulatory requirements, we ensure accurate coding, compliant billing practices and maximum reimbursement for cardiology practices.

Understanding common CPT codes and modifiers is important in cardiology billing.

Cardiac catheterization (CPT 93458):

Used for diagnostic cardiac catheterization procedures with coronary angiography and hemodynamic measurements.

 

Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) (CPT 92920-92944):

Codes vary based on the complexity and number of vessels treated during a PCI procedure.

 

Echocardiography (CPT 93306-93308):

Includes transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiogram to evaluate heart function and structures.

 

Cardiac Device Implantation (CPT 33206-33249):

Codes for implantation of pacemakers, defibrillators, and cardiac resynchronization therapy devices.

Modifiers such as -59 (Specific Procedural Services) and -25 (Significant, Separately Identifiable Evaluation and Management Services) may be applied in certain situations that indicate separate services or separate E/M services during the process.
