Monitor. Review. Handle.
SMB understands that radiologists and diagnostic radiology billing require specialized training and knowledge of codes to ensure accurate coding each time, just like billing in any other practice. At SMB, we keep track of billing and coding processes, as ineffective billing would adversely affect the practice's income and stability. We ensure that the payments entitled to the practitioners are supported by sufficient documentation to successfully pass audit checks.
At SMB, we understand the importance of the accurate description of the service performed – also known as dictations. The dictation needs are becoming a standard increasingly to meet accuracy rates. To keep billing error-free, SMB is up to date with accurate verbiage. This helps eliminate the risks of costly appeals. Using the right verbiage also reduces the man-hours spent researching for additional information long after the procedure or test is performed.
Our certified coders and medical billing specialists benefit radiologists and imaging companies to capitalize on revenue along with delivering contracting and credentialing services. Our services to imaging practices have given our clients the confidence to understand their patient illness rather than be trapped with documentation and revenue.

Experts in the coding of pulmonology procedures are of primary importance, and SMB's staff is the best in the industry. We take care of every aspect, including office procedures, visits, and hospital procedures for pulmonary. In the case of almost all fields of practice, insurance companies are billed by healthcare providers for certain healthcare services and procedures. Procedures and diagnoses have their own unique codes so that health management organizations (HMOs) can differentiate between the two and bill them differently.
Procedures have a coding method fixed by the ICD-10, which employs a structure of seven alphanumeric characters to match various features of the procedure, which indicate the specifications of that procedure. The characters change from specialty to specialty, but the essential pattern and order do not change. Thus, there is an organized and streamlined method to billing for specific procedures across the board that lets insurance companies be billed correctly for any procedures performed on a patient. However, when it comes to pulmonary doctors, mistakes with ICD-10 coding can mean losses of tens of thousands of dollars.
We at SMB understand these intricate details and work with your pulmonary practice to increase revenue and efficiencies at the practice.

Rehabilitation billing is straightforward that involves the charges for rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation treatments and therapies are usually done over a period.
