Since the field covers invasive and noninvasive procedures that are used for both diagnosis and treatment, a lot can go wrong within the billing process. As a practitioner in this field, you’ll encounter common to life-threatening issues. From aortic aneurysm to varicose veins, you’ll see nearly everything.
Because of the large array of conditions treated, your practice will need a vast understanding of billing code. In 2019 there were many changes to CPT coding. Some of these changes tack on to past coding while others are new codes for experimental procedures. Your business should not have to undergo stress over deciphering what code fits the procedure you’re doing. Your focus should be on the patient.
The wide variety of codes for one specific condition makes vascular billing very complex. For example, there are three codes ( 36572, 36573, 36584) for PICC lines. For additional information, you can look at the 2019 CPT guide by a major manufacturer.

Denial management is the key to a successful revenue cycle program. Many companies claim to “automate” RCM but they fail to acknowledge that the problem in denials is the “intention” and not “technology”. There is no other alternative to being on the phone with insurance company for hours on end and fighting for a claim to get paid. Nonetheless, smart billers learn from their interaction with insurances and pass on that knowledge to the offices they work with so they can take care of these “gottchas”. For e.g. many companies will deny a claim if you send a specific (e.g Lt knee pain) and unspecified pain diagnosis on the same claim.
