Important Radiology Update for Providers UnitedHealthcare has issued a critical update that impacts the reimbursement process for radiology services: 🔍 Radiology Services with Modifier 26: Radiology services appended with modifier 26 will no longer be considered for separate reimbursement when reported on the same date as an Evaluation and Management (E/M) service. To qualify for separate reimbursement, a copy of the radiology report must be attached to support the claim. 📝📅 This crucial update ensures that all necessary documentation is in place for accurate billing and reimbursement, aligning with UnitedHealthcare's commitment to compliance and transparency. Key Points to Remember: Modifier 26: Indicates the professional component of radiology services. Documentation Required: Attach the radiology report when billing on the same date as an E/M service. Compliance: Ensures accurate billing practices and adherence to updated guidelines. Providers and billing professionals, stay informed and make sure your practice complies with these new guidelines to avoid denials and ensure proper reimbursement. 📊✅ #Healthcare #MedicalBilling #Reimbursement #RCM #UnitedHealthcare #Radiology #EMServices #MedicalUpdates

As a quality assurance officer in the radiology department I recently did this presentation for the Primary health doctors in Ekurhuleni. The presentation addressed some of the issues/misunderstandings that we’ve had, such as lack of justification and using x-rays to diagnose things that can be diagnosed using Ultrasound, which is less harmful to the patient. Such dialogues help improve interdepartmental relationships that must be maintained to continue optimal functionality of healthcare services. #radiography #radiationprotection
