Cardiology Billing That Pays What You Earn
Cardiology carries some of the highest revenue-per-visit of any specialty — and some of the most aggressive payer scrutiny. Device therapy, diagnostic imaging, interventional codes, and global periods all create denial risk that generalist billers routinely miss. 360Solutions assigns certified cardiology coders who know the difference between a 93000 and a 93010, and who track global period edits, modifier -26/-TC splits, and payer-specific prior auth requirements automatically.
Where Cardiology Practices Lose Revenue
These are the coding and billing pitfalls that cost cardiology practices the most — and where our specialised billers add the most value.
Global Period Violations
Post-procedure global period edits are the #1 cardiology denial trigger. We track every procedure date, calculate global windows, and apply the correct modifiers on follow-up visits automatically.
Prior Auth for Imaging
Echo, nuclear stress, cardiac CT, and Holter monitoring all require pre-authorisation from most major payers. We handle auth requests, track approvals, and attach required documentation before every claim.
Modifier -26 / -TC Splits
Hospital-based cardiologists billing only the professional component must append modifier -26. Missing or wrong component modifiers trigger immediate payer rejections. Our coders catch these at charge entry.
Device Implant Documentation
Pacemaker and ICD implant claims require detailed operative notes, device serial numbers, and implant registry documentation. We audit charts before coding to prevent post-payment audits.
High-Risk CPT Groups
Code ranges payers audit most aggressively in Cardiology.
Common Denial Patterns
Knowing these before submission is the difference between a 60% and a 96% first-pass rate.
Missing prior authorisation for echo or nuclear imaging
Global period follow-up billed without modifier -24/-25
Professional component billed as global (missing -26)
Device therapy claims lacking operative report or serial number
Bundling errors: stress echo + ECG on same date
