Complete Radiology Billing and RCM to Help Radiologists Thrive
Comprehensive imaging billing solutions to enhance your practice experience and streamline the revenue cycle — the full strength of our revenue cycle management. Accurate coding of tests and diagnoses to ensure first-go claim payments and increased profits.
MarkLab’s radiology billing specialists, being experienced in the field, offer error-free billing services to help you focus on medical imaging without worry. They undergo regular training and verify your practice credentials from concerned parties through our credentialing services. Also, they assist with HIPAA-compliant radiology transcription to ensure the ultimate protection of confidential data from unauthorized access.
Moreover, we understand that radiology procedures like X-rays, CT scans, and MRIs have their specific codes. Considering this, our professionals first document complete procedure details for a clear understanding of the tests performed. Later, they allocate codes using advanced radiology coding systems to ensure compliance with ICD-10 and CPT. Also, they practice two-layer quality assurance before submitting claims to rectify any errors.

Radiology Billing Plan
As discussed, radiology practice involves multiple tests and diagnoses in maximum cases. So, for efficient results, we follow a specialized plan:
- Procedure Documentation — every study documented completely and accurately
- Claim Filing — correct codes and modifiers applied to each service
- Claim Submission — scrubbed claims filed on time, every time
- Follow-ups & Collection — unpaid claims and balances pursued to payment
- Performance Auditing — regular audits that keep denial rates falling
Denials and rejections are common in radiology billing due to ever-changing codes. By outsourcing responsibility to us, you can effectively minimize such issues. Our coders stay updated with revisions in ICD requirements and practice coding accordingly. Further, we follow up on already denied claims through systematic billing and collection to fix errors and maximize payments.
Frequently Asked Questions
Efficient radiology billing is crucial to providing high-quality medical imaging. However, providers have their concerns regarding the process. Below we have answered some questions that they frequently ask. Whether you’re practicing medical imaging individually or affiliated with a hospital, these will effectively clear your confusion. Let’s have a look:
1) How do I ensure my radiology procedure coding is accurate?
Accuracy comes from procedure documentation matched against current ICD-10 and CPT codes. MarkLab’s certified radiology coders study each performed procedure and match its description to the correct code — the mismatch between documentation and code selection is the root of most radiology denials.
2) How do you handle billing for contrast materials used in imaging studies?
Our professionals document the type and amount of contrast used in each study, then bill it with the appropriate HCPCS Level II code — with the A9512-A9770 series covering common contrast agents. Separately documenting contrast usage is what keeps these claims from bundling denials.
3) What considerations apply to radiology services provided in a hospital setting?
Hospital-based radiology requires complete procedure documentation and correct use of the -26 modifier for the professional component and -TC for the technical component — or unmodified global codes when your practice bills both. Splitting professional and technical charges correctly is the single biggest factor in hospital-setting radiology reimbursement.
