MRI Billing
I need your help with some questions about radiology billing. I am working with a doctor that sends his patients out to have xrays and MRIs in an outside facility. The doctor wants some of his xrays and MRIs re-read (second opinion). Can the facility/radiologist that is doing the re-read be reimbursed? If so, how would we bill for the re-read after we've already billed for the MRI?
Also, we have a radiologist that we pay a flat fee of $50 per MRI that he reads for us. Am I able to bill for each MRI result that he reads over and above the MRI CPT® code?
Your help with these two questions would be greatly appreciated.
