Cardiovascular Medical Billing & Credentialing Services

Revenue Cycle Management Tailored for Cardiovascular Specialists, Vascular Surgeons & Heart Care Providers

Delivering cardiovascular care isn’t just complex clinically—it’s also one of the most intricate specialties in terms of medical billing and revenue cycle management (RCM). From highly regulated diagnostic procedures to high-risk interventions, cardiovascular practices face significant reimbursement challenges. At Oakview Medical Billing Solutions, we provide comprehensive, specialty-focused Cardiovascular Medical Billing & Credentialing Services that help your practice stay compliant, capture all revenue opportunities, and grow sustainably.

Why Cardiovascular Billing Is Uniquely Complex

Cardiovascular billing involves frequent changes in CPT codes, stringent documentation requirements, and payer-specific bundling rules. Common issues that impact your revenue include:

• Global Period Mismanagement: Cardiovascular procedures often involve global periods with related pre- and post-op services. Improper handling can result in denied follow-up claims.

• Modifiers Usage (e.g., -25, -59, -76): Misuse or omission of key modifiers causes bundling issues and claim denials.

• Multiple Procedure Rules: Cardiologists often perform multiple diagnostic and interventional procedures in one encounter. Without accurate sequencing and knowledge of Medicare’s MUEs (Medically Unlikely Edits), payments get reduced—or denied.

• Pre-Authorization Requirements: High-value procedures like cardiac catheterization, echocardiograms, or stress tests typically require detailed pre-auth processes. Missing one step means total revenue loss.

• Diagnostic vs. Therapeutic Coding Confusion: Distinguishing between diagnostic testing (e.g., EKGs, stress tests) and therapeutic interventions (e.g., angioplasty, stents) requires precise ICD-10 and CPT alignment.

Our Full-Spectrum Cardiovascular Billing Services Include:

Cardiology-Specific Coding & Charge Entry

We assign certified coders (CPCs) who specialize in cardiovascular procedures. We ensure:

• Correct assignment of Category I and III CPT codes for diagnostic imaging, catheter-based interventions, vascular ultrasounds, EKGs, Holter monitors, etc.

• Modifier use that reflects the complexity and nature of multi-component visits.

• RVU-based analysis to ensure fair and optimized reimbursement.

Claim Scrubbing & Clean Submission

Every claim goes through multiple layers of QA:

• CCI edits

• NCCI checks

• LCD (Local Coverage Determinations) verification

• Diagnosis-to-procedure linking accuracy

Real-Time Eligibility & Prior Authorizations

We handle benefit verification and obtain pre-auths from both commercial and government payers for:

• Cardiac nuclear imaging

• Echocardiograms

• Stress testing

• Vascular ultrasounds

• Cardiac catheterizations

• Device implants (e.g., pacemakers)

Denial Prevention & Appeals Management

We proactively identify trends in:

• Downcoded or underpaid claims

• Medical necessity denials

• Duplicate procedure flags
  Our appeals team writes strong, evidence-based appeal letters—including provider notes, prior approvals, and AMA/CMS coding references.

AR Follow-up, Reconciliation & Reporting

From high-volume private practices to multi-location heart clinics, we streamline AR recovery using:

• 30/60/90-day aging analysis

• Payer-specific escalation workflows

• Reconciliation with EOBs/ERAs

• Monthly revenue performance reports & benchmarking

Cardiovascular Credentialing & Contracting Services

Credentialing for cardiovascular providers is tedious—especially when expanding services or adding locations. We support:

• New practice setup or acquisition credentialing

• Solo or group interventionalist enrollment

• Cath lab credentialing with Medicare & major commercial plans

• Multistate license verification & maintenance

• Delegated credentialing for larger institutions

We manage:

• CAQH registration & re-attestations

• NPI Type 1 & 2 validation

• Payer enrollment tracking

• Direct liaison with BCBS, Aetna, Cigna, Medicare, Medicaid, and more

• Onboarding & contracting timelines reporting

You’ll have a dedicated credentialing manager, Excel-based dashboards, and proactive updates—no blind spots, no confusion.
