Cardiology billing that keeps pace with every procedure.
Cardiology combines office visits, diagnostic testing, remote monitoring and interventional procedures, often for the same patient in the same week. Each one has its own coding and authorization rules.
MediFier's cardiology-trained billers make sure every echo, stress test and procedure is authorized, coded with the right components and paid in full.

Cardiology
Complex services, complex rules.
A single cardiology encounter can include an E/M visit, an ECG, an echocardiogram and a stress test, each with professional and technical components that must be billed correctly depending on who owns the equipment.
Add prior authorizations for advanced imaging and the detail required for cath lab procedures, and it's easy for revenue to slip. We manage every step so nothing is left behind.
- Professional vs. technical component billing
- Prior authorization for imaging
- Bundling of same-day tests
- Remote monitoring billing periods

See How We WorkCardiology questions, answered
Do you handle prior authorizations for cardiac imaging?
Yes. We request and track authorizations for nuclear stress tests, cardiac CT, cardiac MRI and other services that require them, so tests aren't denied after they're performed.
How do you bill tests done on hospital-owned equipment?
We bill only the professional component with modifier -26 when the facility bills the technical component, and the global service when your practice owns the equipment.
Can you bill remote cardiac monitoring?
Yes. We bill Holter, event and remote monitoring services for the correct monitoring periods and make sure required documentation is in place.
Do you also transcribe cardiology reports?
Yes. Our transcription team handles echo, stress test, consult and procedure reports with fast turnaround.
