Neurology billing covers diagnostic testing like EEGs and nerve conduction studies, along with ongoing management of chronic neurological conditions. Many neurology patients also receive infusion therapy, which adds its own billing rules on top of standard visit coding.
Neurology combines technical diagnostic component billing, professional interpretation billing, and chronic condition E/M coding, often for the same patient across different visit types. Missing the technical versus professional split is a common and costly error that most general billing workflows are not built to catch.
Advanced neurological imaging, including MRI and specialty infusion drugs, typically requires prior authorization under Connecticut's Anthem and Aetna plans. HUSKY Health applies separate criteria for neurological imaging and infusion therapy that require their own authorization tracking, administered apart from commercial preauthorization systems.
| What You Get | In-House Billing | Connecticut MedBill |
|---|---|---|
| Diagnostic testing claims | Modifier issues may delay payment | Technical and professional billing reviewed |
| Infusion billing | Time documentation varies | Matched to documented infusion services |
| Authorization management | Separate tracking across services | Centralized before treatment begins |
| Neurology-specific coding | Requires ongoing staff training | Reviewed by specialty-focused coders |
| Billing performance reports | Limited visibility into trends | Monthly reporting with actionable insights |
We separate the technical component, covering equipment and staff time, from the professional component, covering physician interpretation, applying modifiers where the same provider does not perform both.
We match the infusion code to the documented drug type, infusion duration, and route of administration, since coding errors here often lead to underbilling.
Yes. We code ongoing management visits for conditions like epilepsy, migraine, and multiple sclerosis based on documented medical decision making.
