Medical billing services for cardiology can be more challenging than for other specialties due to the fact that cardiology medical procedures tend to be more intricate and complex. This means that medical coders working for cardiology facilities should be specialized in cardiovascular terminology, services and procedures. Aside from having a high level of coding experience, they should also understand general billing procedures and processes, such as modifier application, component coding and more.

Changes to billing and coding regulations in the last few years have led to fee reductions for cardiologists. In fact, Medicare fees for cardiologists have decreased by about 2 percent each year, despite the fact that the average Medicare fee increased by 1.1 percent for other providers. Because of these changes – and because revenue can also decrease due to billing errors and poor coding – it is important for billing and coding processes to be performed by cardiology billing experts. At 5 Star Billing Services, we provide error-free, denial-free billing and coding services, resulting in maximum on-time reimbursements for your practice.

Your Cardiology Billing Company

A cardiology billing company should increase your reimbursements. In fact, it should be more efficient and effective at billing than your own office. A cardiology billing company should let you and your personnel focus on practicing medicine. Whether you own a private practice or work in a hospital or multi-provider facility, a cardiology billing service can make your practice more profitable.

According to industry experts, a claims adjustment rate of between 20% and 35% is considered good and acceptable. At 5 Star, our account executives have an average of eight years in cardiology billing.

At 5 Star, we achieve AR rates for our practices that are higher than the industry average. Simply put, you and your practice will get a higher average return per processed claim.
