Radiology Medical Billing Services
Radiology revenue turns on the professional/technical split, prior authorization, and volume. Our certified coders specialize in radiology RCM so every read and every scan is billed correctly.
Get a Free Radiology Billing AuditWe handle radiology billing end to end, imaging centers, teleradiology, and hospital-based groups. Because radiology hinges on correct component billing (26/TC), prior authorization, and high claim volume, a specialty-trained team is what keeps reimbursement complete and denials low.
Radiology billing we handle
- Professional vs technical. Modifier 26 (professional read) and TC (technical) applied correctly, or global.
- All modalities. X-ray, CT, MRI, ultrasound, mammography, nuclear, and interventional.
- Interventional radiology. Image-guided biopsies, drainages, angiography, embolization, and PICC or port placement.
- Mammography & bone density. Screening and diagnostic mammography, 3D tomosynthesis, and DEXA scans.
- PET & nuclear medicine. PET/CT and nuclear studies coded with the correct radiopharmaceutical.
- Prior authorization. Advanced imaging auth obtained up front to prevent medical-necessity denials.
- Contrast & supplies. Contrast agents and supplies coded with correct HCPCS.
- High-volume throughput. Same-day charge capture sized to imaging volume.
- Bundling & NCCI edits. Component and multiple-procedure rules handled.
Why radiology practices lose revenue
The usual losses: wrong professional/technical component, missing prior authorization on advanced imaging, contrast/supplies uncoded, multiple-procedure reduction errors, and denial backlogs at volume. Radiology-trained coders and fast throughput close all of these.

Component accuracy
26/TC or global billed to match exactly what you performed.

Radiology billing FAQs
What is the 26/TC split in radiology billing?
Radiology services have a professional component (the interpretation, modifier 26) and a technical component (the equipment/staff, modifier TC). Bill 26, TC, or global to match what you actually performed, mismatches cause denials or lost revenue.
Do you obtain prior authorization for imaging?
Yes. Advanced imaging (CT, MRI, nuclear) frequently requires prior authorization; we obtain it up front to prevent the medical-necessity denials common in radiology.
Can you handle high imaging volume?
Yes. Same-day charge capture, scrubbing, and fast denial follow-up are built for the high claim volume of imaging centers and teleradiology groups.
How soon will results show?
Most radiology groups see cleaner component billing and fewer auth denials within the first billing cycle.
