Best Radiology Billing Services in Abilene, TX
Abilene is the imaging hub for a wide stretch of West-Central Texas, and that geography shapes the billing. Hendrick and the independent groups around it read for outlying counties where patients travel in, which means teleradiology, cross-county coverage, and a payer mix that leans heavily on Texas Medicaid. In Texas, Medicaid runs through STAR and STAR+PLUS managed-care plans administered under HHSC, so the plan that authorizes an MRI is rarely the one you assume from the last visit — eligibility has to be pinned before the study, not after the denial.
The number that quietly decides whether an Abilene radiology claim pays is the site of service. When your group owns both the scanner and the read, you bill globally. When the hospital owns the equipment and your radiologists only interpret, you split the claim — professional component on modifier 26, technical component under TC — and billing the global fee in a provider-based setting is an instant overpayment recoupment.

How radiology claims get paid
Abilene radiology revenue is not one fee; it is a stack of decisions our team makes on every study.
| Billing element | How it drives payment in Abilene |
|---|---|
| Professional vs technical | Modifier 26 for the interpretation, TC for equipment/tech; global only when one entity owns both |
| Site of service | Office (global) vs hospital-based (split) sets the whole claim structure |
| Prior authorization | MRI, CT, and PET routed through the plan's radiology-benefit manager before the scan |
| Contrast and supervision | With/without-contrast codes and supervision level matched to the order and the setting |
| Laterality and repeats | Modifiers RT, LT, 59, 76 and 77 to separate distinct, repeat, and different-provider reads |
| Texas Medicaid | STAR / STAR+PLUS plan verified via HHSC eligibility before the study |
Behind those rows sit the proof points that matter: a 99% first-pass clean-claim rate, roughly 99% net collections, A/R held under 25 days, up to 40% fewer denials, and 90% of denials recovered on appeal.

Why Abilene practices outsource radiology billing to 247MBS
The reason imaging groups here outsource is simple: a generalist billing company learns the 26/TC split and the Novitas LCD map on your denied claims, while a radiology-focused team already carries it. We are a medical billing services company built around the specialty, not a general shop adding radiology on the side. That shows up in how we work every claim end to end:
- Eligibility and payer verification — the exact STAR or STAR+PLUS plan confirmed, plus RBM auth status, before the study
- Denial management and appeals — worked to root cause against the LCD, not blindly resubmitted
- A/R follow-up — aged Medicaid and commercial imaging balances chased to resolution
- Insurance credentialing — radiologists paneled across Texas Medicaid plans and commercial carriers so reads never reject on enrollment
It all runs inside our radiology revenue cycle practice — one team, one account manager, one dashboard, backed by a 98% client-retention rate.
Who we serve in Abilene
We bill the full range of imaging across the Big Country: hospital-based radiology groups reading for Hendrick and regional facilities, independent diagnostic imaging centers, mobile and outpatient MRI/CT operators, and teleradiology practices covering the rural counties around Abilene, from Sweetwater and Anson to Brownwood. Whether you own the equipment, only the read, or both, we bill the professional and technical pieces to match.
Medical Billing for Radiology in Abilene

FAQ
Yes — that hospital-based split is core radiology billing. Your radiologists' interpretations go out with modifier 26 while the facility bills the technical component, and we never let a global fee slip through in a provider-based setting where it would be recouped.
We secure the radiology-benefit-manager authorization before the scan runs and verify the active STAR or STAR+PLUS plan through HHSC eligibility, because advanced-imaging auth denials are often non-appealable once the study is done.
Yes. We confirm licensure and payer enrollment for each state and plan a read touches, and bill the professional component correctly no matter where the patient or scanner sits.
