Running a medical facility is demanding enough without the stress of billing errors, insurance rejections, and complex coding guidelines. For specialties like radiology and urgent care, the challenges can multiply quickly. Each field has its own documentation requirements, CPT codes, and payer-specific rules that, if not followed, lead to revenue loss and unnecessary delays.

At Med Brigade, we provide expert radiology billing and reliable urgent care billing solutions that ensure you get paid on time, with complete accuracy, and without the hassle.

Why Radiology Billing Requires Specialized Knowledge

Radiology billing is not just about CPT codes. It involves:

• Proper use of modifiers

• Clear distinction between professional and technical components

• Adherence to documentation guidelines

• Understanding payer-specific rules for diagnostic imaging

For example, the same X-ray procedure might be billed differently if performed in a hospital vs. a freestanding imaging center. Radiology practices also deal with high volumes of patients daily, so any error in claim submission can create a serious cash flow problem.

Common Radiology CPT Codes

• 71045 – Chest X-ray (1 view)

• 71250 – CT scan, chest

• 74177 – CT abdomen and pelvis with contrast

• 77067 – Screening mammography

• 70553 – MRI, brain with and without contrast

Each procedure must be coded based on location, contrast use, and whether both professional (physician interpretation) and technical (equipment use) services were performed.

Urgent Care Billing: Fast-Paced, High-Volume, and Often Mismanaged

Urgent care billing presents a different set of challenges. With walk-in patients, after-hours services, and multiple procedures during a single visit, it’s easy to miss charges or use incorrect codes.

Many urgent care centers struggle with:

• Coding levels of evaluation and management (E/M) properly

• Billing in-office procedures like sutures, splints, or X-rays

• Collecting payment from self-pay or high-deductible patients

• Staying compliant with both commercial and government payers

How Med Brigade Supports Urgent Care Billing

We tailor our billing workflow to match the speed and complexity of urgent care operations. Here's how we help:

• Same-day claim submission to improve cash flow

• Proper use of E/M codes (e.g., 99203, 99214) based on documentation

• Accurate coding for injury care, X-rays, rapid tests, and minor procedures

• Verification of coverage, deductibles, and co-pays

• Denial management and claim re-submission

• Regular reporting for financial transparency

Examples of Urgent Care Billing Codes

• 99203 – Office or other outpatient visit, moderate complexity

• 12001 – Simple wound repair

• 87804 – Rapid strep test
