"Your Radiology Business Experts"
Services
Outsource/Backlog Coding - Diagnostic & Interventional
Having trouble recruiting qualified coders? Do you need assistance in cleaning up a coding backlog or need a coder
to provide coverage during a leave or absence or vacation? Our team of coding experts can meet all of you needs.
Our use of Natural Language Processing software allows us to process reports electronically enhancing coder
productivity. Although we use NLP software for our diagnostic radiology coding, 100% of reports processed are
reviewed by a certified coder prior to submission for billing Depending upon your billing system we may be able to
provide a mechanism for posting your charges electronically which will reduce clerical costs.
Coding Audits - Diagnostic & Interventional
Would your records stand up to the scrutiny of the OIG or some other third party? According to the most recent OIG
audit, most "overpayments" can be attributed to insufficient documentation or no documentation for services billed in
the patient’s medical record. In addition, coding compliance audits are a key element in identifying reimbursement
issues and other potential problems such as fraud and abuse. A coding compliance audit examines the adequacy of
documentation in the medical record against the accuracy of CPT code and ICD-9 code assignment. Specifically,
these audits are helpful in identifying instances of lost revenue. Based on the findings of an audit, we will take
whatever action is necessary to help you obtain the proper level of reimbursement for services rendered, such as
improving documentation processes or providing coder education.
Practice Analysis
Searching for ways to reduce overhead and boost you revenue? Our team of experts can assist you by conducting
a comprehensive practice analysis. The analysis will examine the efficiency and effectiveness of the billing and
collections process and identify issues that are impacting your revenue cycle. In addition our analysis will provide
ways to decrease operational costs. To accomplish these goals, SRM will examine the entire work flow from front
end to back end including review of fee schedules, contracts, charge capture, coding and denials. Findings and
recommendations will be provided to you in a written report. Additionally, we provide complete billing services
should you choose to outsource management of your accounts receivable.
Compliance Program Development
An effective Compliance Program is vital to the success of any healthcare provider. Implementing a Compliance
Program minimizes your risk and exposure to allegations of fraud and abuse. SRM will develop a customized
compliance program for your practice based on the guidelines provided by the OIG and the ACR. This process
includes a general organizational assessment, review of all current polices and procedures, development of the
compliance program, implementation of the program, employee training and ongoing monitoring and support of the
program including support during any external audits or investigations. In addition, if you prefer, one of our
associates can act as your Compliance Officer.
Education & Training Programs
Not enough hours in the day to train your staff? SRM can help! We provide comprehensive education for
interventional and diagnostic radiology services. One of our associates will provide customized onsite or
remote training sessions for both the staff and physicians.
