Cardiology
Healthcare IT and billing built for a cardiology practice
Procedural and diagnostic billing precision for cardiology, from office E/M through cath lab and device monitoring.
Why cardiology is different
Cardiology billing spans office evaluation, non-invasive diagnostics, interventional procedures and remote device monitoring: each with distinct global periods, modifier conventions and payer policies.
Healthcare SBC assigns cardiology-credentialed coders and configures the platform for structured diagnostic reporting, device-monitoring billing cycles, and modifier logic that keeps interventional claims clean the first time.
Common challenges
Where cardiology practices lose revenue
The billing and workflow problems specific to this specialty, and the ones generic systems handle badly.
Complex modifier requirements
Interventional cardiology depends on correct use of modifiers 26, TC, 59, XU and others that vary by payer and setting.
Global period confusion
Procedures with 0, 10 and 90-day globals create frequent bundling denials when follow-up visits are billed incorrectly.
Device monitoring cycles
Remote pacemaker and ICD monitoring follows strict 31- and 91-day billing cycles that are easy to miss or duplicate.
Prior authorization volume
Advanced imaging and elective procedures carry heavy authorization requirements that delay care and cause denials.

FAQ
Cardiology, frequently asked questions questions
- Do you have coders experienced in interventional cardiology?
- Yes. Cardiology claims are handled by coders credentialed and specifically experienced in cardiovascular coding, including cath lab, EP and vascular procedures where modifier and bundling rules are unforgiving.
- How do you handle remote device monitoring billing?
- The platform tracks each patient's monitoring period and eligibility window, prevents duplicate billing inside a cycle, and ensures the technical and professional components are billed correctly for your setting.
- Can you manage prior authorizations for advanced imaging?
- Yes. Our authorization team submits and pursues requests for nuclear studies, CT angiography, cardiac MRI and elective procedures, tracking each to determination with clinical documentation attached.
