Neurology Billing & RCM Revenue Recovery
In a technical audit for a 6-physician independent neurology group in the Midwest, MDRG identified a $158,000 annual revenue leakage in their diagnostic professional components and infusion waste billing. The group was failing to correctly apply the -26 modifier and was omitting the -JW waste component in their infusion notes.
By implementing Revenue Cycle Management best practices, including real-time "Waste-Capture Training" for their clinical staff, MDRG was able to:
* **Recover $92,000 in uncaptured professional interpretation and waste revenue** within the first 6 months.
* **Reduce their "Component Paradox" Denial Rate** by 58% using specialized technical narratives.
* **Accelerate Cash Flow** by reducing their average days in A/R from 46 days to 23 days.
