Urology Billing & RCM Revenue Recovery
In a technical audit for a 6-physician independent urology group in the Southwest, MDRG identified a $182,000 annual revenue leakage in their global-period E/M and lithotripsy device billing. The group was failing to correctly apply the -24 modifier for post-op stone consults and was omitting the J8 technical indicator for facility-fee recovery.
By implementing Revenue Cycle Management best practices, including real-time "Device-Capture Training" for their clinical staff, MDRG was able to:
* **Recover $112,000 in uncaptured lithotripsy and E/M revenue** within the first 6 months.
* **Reduce their "Global-Mismatch" Denial Rate** by 64% using specialized technical narratives.
* **Accelerate Cash Flow** by reducing their average days in A/R from 48 days to 24 days.
