Rheumatology Billing Services

Why Rheumatology Billing Requires Expert Management


Rheumatology​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ practices encounter intricate billing problems that involve expensive biologic drugs, infusion services, and patients with chronic conditions. To perform accurate coding for drug administration, from a simple injection (CPT 96372) to a complicated infusion (CPT 96413, 96415), one must have a precise understanding of the CPT codes and the corresponding diagnoses. The billing of biologics such as Remicade (J1745) or Rituxan (J9312) entails recognizing the buy-and-bill models, proper J-code usage, and conforming to the payer's rules. Just one mistake can lead to a large loss of revenue.

We are the ones who can guarantee that your infusions, radiology (CPT 73030, 73060), and office procedures (CPT 99213, 99214) are correctly coded; thus, your practice will have fewer denials and the reimbursement will be at the highest level ​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌possible.
