The radiology billing process

From imaging order to payment

Radiology claims move through linked operational steps. Clear ownership helps teams identify where verification, documentation, coding, submission, or follow-up needs attention.

Five-stage radiology billing workflow: order and verify, image and document, code and charge, scrub and submit, post and follow up

One specialty, different billing arrangements

Professional, technical, or global?

Understanding what your organization performs and bills is a key part of setting up the right radiology workflow.

PHYSICIAN SERVICE

Professional component

Generally relates to the physician’s interpretation and professional work associated with the imaging service.

Who provides and bills the interpretation?
EQUIPMENT & FACILITY

Technical component

Generally relates to the equipment, facility, and technical work used to perform the imaging service.

Which entity owns or bills the technical service?
COMBINED BILLING

Global service

In some arrangements, one billing entity may report both components when the service and payer rules allow it.

Do the billing setup and payer rules permit a combined claim?

Billing depends on the facts of the service. Component reporting, modifiers, documentation, and payer requirements vary. Confirm the applicable rules for each payer and organization; this overview is not coding or legal advice.

Where operational support may fit

Keep the work connected across the billing cycle

Our medical billing service lists radiology among supported specialties. The exact work is confirmed after reviewing your current process.

01

Eligibility & pre-service checks

Review the agreed coverage and authorization steps before the service, where included in the engagement.

02

Charge & claim preparation

Coordinate charge entry, coding and documentation handoffs, and claim preparation under your established procedures.

03

Claim scrubbing & submission

Review claims against the agreed billing checks and route them for submission through the designated process.

04

Payment posting

Track payer responses and payments within the agreed billing workflow and identify items that need review.

05

Denial & A/R follow-up

Record denial reasons, coordinate next actions, and work outstanding balances under agreed priorities.

06

Reporting & communication

Agree on status visibility, reporting cadence, and escalation points that keep your team informed.

Before we recommend a scope

First, understand your imaging operation

We use the initial discussion to map ownership, handoffs, and open issues—not to assume every practice bills the same way.
