Radiology Billing Services in Amarillo for Every Practice
Amarillo is the medical anchor of a huge, thinly populated corner where Texas meets New Mexico and Oklahoma. BSA Health System and Northwest Texas Healthcare draw imaging referrals from across the Panhandle, and their radiologists — with the independent groups nearby — read for patients who often travel hours to be scanned. That catchment makes two things routine: teleradiology across state lines, and a high volume of contrast studies where the exact code and supervision level have to match the order.
Texas payers set the backdrop. Medicaid runs through STAR and STAR+PLUS managed-care plans under HHSC, so eligibility and the authorizing plan must be confirmed before an advanced study, not reconstructed after a denial. For Medicare Part B, the Panhandle falls under Novitas Solutions (JH), whose Local Coverage Determinations decide medical necessity. A contrast MRI billed with the wrong code, or without the LCD-supporting diagnosis, denies no matter how strong the read.
How radiology claims get paid
Every Amarillo study pays on the details our team locks down before submission.
| Billing element | How it drives payment in Amarillo |
|---|---|
| Contrast and supervision | With, without, or with-and-without-contrast codes matched to the order and supervision level |
| Professional vs technical | Modifier 26 for the read, TC for equipment; global only when one entity owns both |
| Site of service | Hospital-based read splits the claim; office ownership bills global |
| Prior authorization | MRI/CT/PET cleared through the plan's radiology-benefit manager first |
| Teleradiology licensure | Licensure and payer enrollment confirmed for TX, NM, and OK reads |
| Modifiers | RT/LT laterality, 59 to unbundle, 76/77 for legitimate repeats |
The workflow is backed by a 99% clean-claim rate, roughly 99% net collections, A/R under 25 days, up to 40% fewer denials, and 90% denial recovery, with claims submitted inside 24 hours.

Why Amarillo practices outsource radiology billing to 247MBS
Imaging groups here outsource radiology billing because contrast coding, supervision rules, tri-state teleradiology, and the 26/TC split overwhelm a general billing company that treats every claim the same. As a medical billing services company built around radiology, we carry those workflows before your first claim. We run the full cycle:
- Eligibility and payer verification — the exact STAR or STAR+PLUS plan or commercial coverage and auth status confirmed pre-scan
- Denial management and appeals — worked against the LCD and the contrast/supervision record, not just resubmitted
- Insurance credentialing — radiologists licensed and paneled across Texas Medicaid plans and neighboring states
- A/R follow-up — aged Medicaid and commercial imaging balances chased to resolution
It all lives inside our radiology revenue cycle practice — one team, one dashboard, a 98% retention rate.
Who we serve in Amarillo
We bill hospital-based radiology groups reading for the Amarillo systems, freestanding imaging and diagnostic centers, mobile MRI/CT operators, interventional radiology practices, and teleradiology groups covering the Panhandle from Amarillo out to Canyon, Pampa, Borger, and the tri-state communities that rely on the city for advanced imaging. Own the scanner, only the read, or both — we bill the pieces to match.

FAQ
We match the exact contrast code — without, with, or with-and-without — to the physician's order and confirm the supervision level for the setting. Contrast mismatches are a common, avoidable denial, and we close them at charge capture rather than on appeal.
Yes. For every read that crosses a state line we confirm the radiologist's licensure and payer enrollment in that state, then bill the professional component correctly so it isn't rejected on eligibility.
We verify the active STAR or STAR+PLUS plan through HHSC eligibility and secure the radiology-benefit-manager authorization before the scan, because those denials are usually non-appealable after the fact.
