BILLING REVIEWS

What was done, billed and paid, line by line.

Portable x-ray billing review

Each trip and exam, tied to the claims and payments behind it. The review checks the transport fee split, set-up, Part A nursing home stays, orders and payer status.

What the review checks

Imaging center billing review

The exams in your RIS, matched to charges and payments. The review sorts denials, underpayments and old receivables.

What the review checks

INTERFACE AND SECURITY

The engines and systems that carry the data.

Interface check-up

For sites on Mirth Connect 4.5.2 or another HL7 engine: channels, versions, exposure, and whether orders, images, reports and claims agree. A written report and a move plan.

What the check-up covers

Security risk analysis for imaging sites

The risk analysis HIPAA's Security Rule requires, for an imaging site: PACS and RIS exposure, remote and vendor access, interfaces, backups and access controls. A written analysis and a ranked fix list.

What the analysis covers

Both are assessments. Nothing on your systems is changed under them; a move or a fix is a separate agreement, if you want one.

Peer group: all 287 transport billers in the United States, calendar year 2024, Medicare fee-for-service Part B, from public CMS data. The example operator is built from the national medians and is not a real company. Peers appear only as percentiles; no other biller is named.

How it works

  1. 1A free benchmark from public Medicare data, if you run portable x-ray.
  2. 2A 20-minute call.
  3. 3A fixed-fee engagement under a signed agreement. A business associate agreement is signed before any patient data is shared.
  4. 4A written report. For a billing review: each issue, the claims affected, the dollars at risk and the fix. For an interface or security engagement: the findings and a ranked plan.

Each review has a fixed fee, quoted after the call. Fees are never a percentage of collections.

Nothing is sold on this site. Reviews are contracted separately, under a signed agreement.

What we need

Exports you already have:

  • A trip or dispatch log.
  • Claims and payment files.
  • An exam list from your RIS.
  • For an interface or security engagement: read-only access, or an export.

Scoping can start from counts alone.

What we don’t do

  • Bill on your behalf.
  • Take referral fees from billing companies, software vendors or engine vendors.
  • Change, upgrade or migrate a system under an assessment.
  • Read images, or judge clinical or physics work.
  • Give legal advice.

How we handle your data

How we make sure the review is right

  • Every check is tested on synthetic data with planted errors before it runs on yours. See a sample review.
  • Every rule cites the Medicare manual, regulation or contractor article it comes from.
  • Every finding lists the claim lines behind it, so your staff can check it.
  • We don't bill for anyone or take referral fees, so we have no stake in the result.
  • A signed agreement before we start; a business associate agreement before any patient data.
