Your specialist works the queue you assign: eligibility and benefits, authorization tracking for imaging and procedures, charge review, claim submission, payment posting, denial follow-up and AR. Behind them we run sourcing, vetting, payroll, HIPAA-aligned infrastructure and replacements.
Why Cardiology Claims Deny
A single cardiology patient can generate an office visit, an echo, a stress test, a device check and a procedure, sometimes across more than one site. Three things cause most of the trouble.
Bundling edits pay certain services performed together as one unless the record supports billing them separately; Medicare publishes these pairs as the NCCI edits (CMS). Diagnostic tests split into a professional and a technical part, and which part you can bill depends on where the test was done and who owns the equipment. And prior authorization for imaging and procedures varies by payer and can lapse when a date moves.
What the Specialist Reviews Before a Claim Goes Out
Modifiers Backed by the Record
Modifiers get audited. The specialist's job is to check that every modifier on a claim is supported by the documentation and to flag the ones that are not. Choosing them stays with your providers and coders.
Denials and Appeals
Paperwork denials get corrected and resubmitted. Policy denials get prepared for appeal with the full record. You decide which appeals to pursue, and nothing is written off without your sign-off.
If code selection itself needs staffing, see medical coding services. For a backlog of aged claims, see AR recovery and denial management.
Remote or On-Site
Billing specialists work remote from a managed, HIPAA-aligned environment. Where your practice needs patient-access roles in the building, myMedCrew places on-site as well, scoped on brief.

Proof Behind the Placement
How It Starts
Book a call and bring a list of the sites you bill for and last month's denials. We scope the role against your service mix and payer list, present pre-vetted candidates, and administrative placements are typically working within 15-20 business days. If a placement does not work out, we manage the transition and the replacement.
Verification support ahead of the visit lives at insurance verification and eligibility services; the generalist parent page is medical billing services. Multi-provider groups can see the wider picture on our provider groups page.
Frequently asked questions
Why is cardiology billing complex?+
One patient can generate office visits, diagnostic tests, device checks and procedures across office and facility settings, each with its own documentation and payer rules. Bundling edits, the professional and technical split on diagnostic tests, and prior authorization all have to be right.
What are bundling edits?+
Payer rules that pay certain services performed together as a single service unless the record supports billing them separately. Medicare publishes its pairs as the National Correct Coding Initiative edits. The specialist flags likely conflicts to your coders with the documentation, and your team makes the call.
Do you track prior authorizations for imaging and procedures?+
Yes. Authorizations are tracked against scheduled dates and checked before submission, so a moved date does not turn into a denial.
Who decides on codes, modifiers and appeals?+
Your practice. Code and modifier selection stays with your providers and coders, appeal decisions and write-offs need your sign-off, and the specialist prepares each one with the complete record.
How much does a cardiology billing specialist cost?+
myMedCrew places cardiology billing specialists at a flat $14/hr, billed on hours worked.
How fast can the specialist start?+
For administrative roles, a placement is typically seated and working within 15-20 business days of the scoping call.
