​Interventional Radiology Consulting ServicesOur goal is to build a trusted educational connection with our clients. We strive for long-term client relationships where we can provide not only auditing services and feedback on a recurring basis (quarterly, annually, etc.) but also education to those providers and/or coders involved in the coding and documentation process. We have two main focuses that build out a comprehensive interventional radiology consulting package:

Interventional Radiology Coding EducationNavigator® Medical Coding Guides
RCCS created the Navigator® for Interventional Radiology/Procedures in association with the Society of Interventional Radiology (SIR) to help physician practices, imaging centers, and hospitals submit correct claims for interventional radiology procedures and services. The first section of the Navigator® provides background information about:
The remainder of the manual covers coding guidelines and billing/reimbursement guidelines for procedures interventional radiologists commonly perform, including:
Coding for interventional radiology services requires extensive knowledge of anatomy, as well as an understanding of coding conventions, so this manual includes anatomic diagrams as well as definitions of important anatomic terms. We also created the RCCS Navigator® for Evaluation and Management for Radiology with the Society of Interventional Radiology (SIR) to assist interventional radiologists with documenting evaluation and management (E/M) services appropriately and billing for them in a compliant manner, including the recent significant changes to coding, billing, and documenting E/M services. The first part of this book discusses the types of E/M services that interventional radiologists may provide. The second part of the book explains how to select the E/M code that best describes the service and how to ensure the documentation meets the requirements for that code. This book will help the reader understand the complex requirements for E/M coding and documentation. Interventional Radiology Job Aid
Our Interventional Procedures Job Aid is a set of “cheat sheets” that contains anatomic diagrams, lists of codes for commonly performed interventional exams, and other helpful coding tips and information. Interventional Radiology Online Courses In today’s rapidly changing healthcare environment, the ability to provide your teams with the training they need in a time and place that fits their schedule is priceless! With the online library of courses from Revenue Cycle Coding Strategies®, the industry’s most trusted source of medical specialty coding and compliance education for over two decades, you can easily prepare your team to code any service with confidence and ensure timely reimbursements. Each course includes lay explanations of clinical terms, code selection and sequencing guidelines, and documentation requirements using real-world scenarios and hands-on exercises to improve comprehension and retention. At the completion of the course, a scored assessment evaluates the learner’s comprehension of the material and allows them to earn CEUs. The Interventional Radiology curriculum is a collection of six online courses that cover all aspects of procedure coding for interventional radiology services for coders working in a physician practice or hospital outpatient setting. Participants can hone their skills by coding actual procedure notes and receiving immediate feedback on their code selections. The curriculum also includes printable study guides with anatomic diagrams to assist in the coding process. Courses included are:
Each of these Interventional Radiology courses are also available to be purchased individually, allowing you to customize your education plan based on the needs of your team. Interventional Radiology at the CROWN Annual Seminar SeriesEach year the experts at RCCS gather to share their knowledge regarding upcoming coding, regulatory, and compliance guideline updates. The 3-day seminar includes a collection of sessions addressing changes in interventional and diagnostic radiology, radiation and medical oncology, and cardiology coding and compliance. During the Interventional Radiology session, we will cover several hot topics and problem areas such as:
Client Resource Center
With our Client Resource Center (CRC), you will always have access to the answers you need for complicated coding questions. The CRC platform puts you in direct contact with an industry expert to quickly answer your important questions—usually by the next business day—via the Q&A portal. You can also access the specific payer policies for your facility’s requirements and geographic location at any time. The CRC is a subscription-based service where interventional radiologists, practice staff, and coders can ask questions regarding coding, billing, and compliance for interventional radiology procedures and receive real-time responses from our team of experts. |
