Our physican office has it's own nuclear lab and echo vascular lab. For example: Our CEO wanted us to split the echo fee into technical component and professional component. The technical component is billed the day the tech does the test. Then when the physician reads the test he bills for the reading fee. The date is the same on both parts, even if the physician doesn't read the test until a couple of days later. That way we aren't billing the pofessional component until it is completed. But now we are getting denials for too many units, and we are having to send in documentation along with an explanation. It isn't for all of tests, just the echos and carotids, and some of those are being paid. Please let me know what we should do.
Thank you,
