An echo or stress test on your own equipment bills differently than a read of a hospital study. Add cath lab cases, remote monitoring, and heart failure follow-up, and one group can run several claim paths at once. Taiga works with cardiology practices and drafts codes from your notes for physician approval.
Book a demoGeneral, interventional, and heart failure cardiology each bring their own claim patterns. Map them before the handoff.
Medicare sets separate values for the global service, the professional component, and the technical component of a diagnostic test. A study on practice-owned equipment can bill globally. A read of a hospital study usually bills the interpretation only, with modifier 26.
Catheterization, PCI, and other interventional procedures usually happen in a hospital or other facility. The cardiologist's claim needs the procedure report, the right place of service, and a clear line between what the group bills and what the facility bills.
Heart failure care often pairs frequent visits with remote physiologic monitoring of weight or blood pressure. Medicare sets data-day and time thresholds for those codes and lets only one practitioner bill RPM per patient in a 30-day period. Post-transplant patients seen in your clinic follow the office claim path, while transplant program services stay with the transplant center.
Cardiology billing touches the practice, the hospital, and sometimes a device company. Agree on ownership before claims move.
Your cardiologists document visits, test interpretations, and procedures. They approve the codes Taiga drafts from those notes before anything is submitted.
Taiga checks eligibility, submits claims scrubbed against payer rules, and works every denial and appeal, including small balances on interpretation-only claims. Patient statements and follow-up are part of the work.
Device checks and remote monitoring programs often run through vendor portals. Decide who pulls those reports and who confirms each month's thresholds were met before a claim goes out.
De-identified examples from each service line make the call faster. Keep patient details out of the booking form.
List echo, stress, Holter, and vascular studies by location, and mark which run on practice equipment versus hospital or imaging-center equipment.
Name each hospital or facility where your physicians do cath lab or interventional work, and how procedure reports reach billing today.
Describe remote monitoring, device checks, or care management programs, who tracks time and data days, and which denials repeat.
A good match for a cardiology group that bills its own professional claims, wants codes drafted from notes with physician sign-off, and is tired of small interpretation and monitoring denials going unworked. You keep your current EHR, and onboarding runs about two weeks to first claim.
This page covers the practice's own claims. Hospital technical components, facility fees, and transplant center billing belong to the institution that furnishes them. If your group has a hybrid arrangement, walk Taiga through it on the call.
Yes. Cardiology is one of the specialties Taiga names publicly. The fit call covers which of your settings and programs move over.
That read is usually billed as the professional component with modifier 26, while the hospital bills the technical side. Taiga drafts the code from the report for your physician to approve.
Medicare lets only one practitioner bill RPM for a patient in a 30-day period, so coordinate with primary care and other specialists first. RPM and remote therapeutic monitoring cannot be billed together.
No. Taiga works alongside the EHR you already use, and it can take over open A/R or run in parallel during the transition.
Book a demo with your test locations, procedure sites, and monitoring programs in hand. Taiga will map which claims it takes on and how the switch would run.
