Best Radiology Billing Services in Ann Arbor, MI
Ann Arbor imaging is unusually academic. A single CT or MRI here may be read by a faculty radiologist while the scanner sits in a hospital outpatient department — which means the claim has to be split into a professional component under modifier 26 and a technical component under TC, billed to different entities, without duplicating a charge or dropping one. A freestanding imaging center that owns both scanner and reader bills the study globally instead. Get that site-of-service logic wrong and a technically perfect study denies as a duplicate or a mismatched split. That is the everyday work a general radiology billing company underestimates and we do not.
Michigan adds its own layer. Medicaid here runs through MDHHS and its contracted Medicaid Health Plans — Meridian, Molina, Blue Cross Complete, Priority Health, McLaren, and others — each with its own prior-authorization and coverage edits, alongside traditional Medicare and its MAC, WPS Government Health Administrators, whose Local Coverage Determinations decide medical necessity for advanced imaging in this region. A radiology claim in Washtenaw County only pays cleanly when it is routed to the right one of those payers and coded to that payer's rules.

Where Ann Arbor radiology practices lose revenue
MRI, CT, and PET pushed through a radiology-benefit manager before the scan; miss it and the study is uncollectible.
the ordering diagnosis does not satisfy the WPS coverage determination, so the interpretation denies no matter how good it was.
components billed together that the edits pay separately, or a second read submitted without modifier 76 or 77.
a read delivered from out of state without the multi-state licensure and enrollment the payer requires.

Why Ann Arbor practices outsource radiology billing to 247MBS
Academic-adjacent imaging is exactly where a professional, radiology-fluent partner pays for itself. When you outsource this work to 247MBS, the 26/TC decision, the prior-auth queue, and the LCD check happen before submission — not after a denial. We run eligibility and payer verification to pin the correct Michigan Medicaid Health Plan or Medicare MAC per patient, denial management and appeals worked to root cause rather than resubmitted, and A/R follow-up that chases aged imaging balances to resolution. Our compliant track record — a 99% 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 — is measured against your own book in the audit. It all runs inside our radiology revenue cycle practice, one team and one dashboard.

FAQ
We confirm ownership before we code. When a faculty or group radiologist reads a study performed on a hospital or center scanner, we bill the professional component under modifier 26 and let the facility bill the technical component under TC. When one entity owns both, we bill globally. That single decision, made correctly per encounter, prevents the duplicate and mismatched-split denials that dominate academic-market imaging.
Michigan Medicaid through MDHHS and its Medicaid Health Plans — Meridian, Molina, Blue Cross Complete, Priority Health, McLaren, and more — plus Medicare and its MAC (WPS) and your commercial carriers. We verify the active plan through eligibility before each claim rather than assuming last visit's coverage still applies.
Yes. We confirm the reading radiologist's multi-state licensure and payer enrollment so out-of-state interpretations are billed compliantly, and we apply repeat-read modifiers 76 and 77 correctly when a study is re-read.
Yes — securing radiology-benefit-manager authorization before the advanced scan is one of the first leaks we close, because an unauthorized MRI or PET is simply uncollectible.
