Your work directly affects radiology revenue and compliance — which means you work in one of the highest risk areas of medicine. Radiology has suffered during the pandemic with a drastic loss in service volumes occurring across the nation making every reimbursement dollar even more valuable. 2023 coding changes, confusing regulatory rules, and documentation guidelines could spell peril and increase the risk of payment denials and penalties while making your facility more vulnerable to auditor take backs. The importance of clear, accurate guidance has never been greater!
Whether you need comprehensive instruction in radiology coding, or guidance with very specific challenge, such as code bundling, you can count on MedLearn Publishing radiology resources.
