Billing and AR follow-up for cardiology practices
Cardiology revenue depends on diagnostic tests and procedures that often need approvals and careful coding.
Where cardiology claims commonly go wrong
Areas where cardiology claims often stall:
- Imaging and stress tests that need prior approval, sometimes through a separate benefits manager.
- Tests billed in the office where the technical and professional parts need to be coded correctly, using the proper modifiers.
- Diagnosis codes that do not support the medical necessity of the test.
- Remote and device monitoring that depends on time or interval records.
- Procedure claims with several codes that payers review closely.
How we help
- We follow up on unpaid test and procedure claims and answer payer requests for records.
- We check approval status before scheduled tests, so claims are less likely to be denied.
- We sort denials by reason and report which tests and payers cause the most problems.
- You receive a weekly report with the four numbers that matter.
We start with a baseline audit of your unpaid claims by age, payer and denial reason. See how we work for the steps.
What we need to start
A report of open claims, the tests you perform most and the payers that require approvals. We sign a Business Associate Agreement before any patient information is shared.
Frequently asked questions
Can you help with prior authorization for cardiac imaging?
Yes. We prepare and submit approval requests, follow up with the payer and record the authorization details.
Do you code procedures?
Medical coding is part of our service list. Coding scope is agreed in writing before work starts.
Do you guarantee collections?
No. We never promise a specific collection amount, because payers, documentation and timing affect every claim. We promise the work, the tracking and a clear weekly report.
Is our patient information safe?
A signed Business Associate Agreement, NDA and service agreement come before any patient information is shared. Our team uses company systems only, with role-based access and HIPAA training.
Arovia RCM does not guarantee collection outcomes. Please do not send patient information through the website or by email before agreements are signed.
