Urology
Healthcare IT and billing built for a urology practice
In-office procedures, pathology tracking and ancillary service billing for urology practices.
Why urology is different
Urology is procedure-dense and increasingly ancillary-heavy, with practices operating in-office pathology, imaging and infusion alongside a busy surgical schedule.
Healthcare SBC supports cystoscopy and office procedure documentation, specimen tracking through pathology, ancillary service billing, and the surgical global management that ties it together.
Common challenges
Where urology practices lose revenue
The billing and workflow problems specific to this specialty, and the ones generic systems handle badly.
In-office procedure documentation
Cystoscopy, urodynamics and biopsies require specific documentation to be billed separately from the visit.
Pathology result tracking
Biopsy specimens must be tracked to result and communicated, with follow-up scheduled based on findings.
Ancillary service billing
In-office labs, imaging and infusion each carry their own billing and compliance requirements.
Surveillance protocols
Cancer surveillance requires interval tracking across years to keep patients on protocol.

FAQ
Urology, frequently asked questions questions
- Do you support in-office pathology?
- Yes. Specimens are tracked from collection through processing and result, with pathology billing handled under the appropriate professional and technical components and compliance rules for in-office labs.
- How are surveillance patients tracked?
- Surveillance intervals are set from findings and tracked automatically, with recall outreach that keeps patients on protocol: protecting outcomes and preserving recurring visit volume.
- Can you bill office-based procedures with the visit?
- Yes, where the evaluation is significant and separately identifiable from the procedure. Our coders validate documentation supports both services before the claim goes out.
