Radiology billing · Boise, ID
Radiology billing services in Boise carry an outsized geographic load — a single reading group here may interpret studies for clinics scattered across a mostly rural state, which puts licensure, enrollment, and advanced-imaging authorization at the center of every clean claim. 247MBS has billed radiology since 2005: a dedicated account manager, a free dashboard, HIPAA-compliant, SOC 2 Type II, and tuned to Idaho Medicaid and Noridian LCDs.
Boise is where Idaho's imaging concentrates. St. Luke's and Saint Alphonsus anchor the Treasure Valley, and around them a network of independent centers and teleradiology groups reads for towns from the Panhandle to the Magic Valley. That reach is a revenue risk: the moment a read crosses into a county or state where the radiologist isn't licensed or enrolled, the professional component can deny on eligibility — no matter how clean the interpretation.
Idaho's payer backdrop shapes the rest. Idaho Medicaid is largely fee-for-service, with Molina Medicaid Solutions operating as the state's fiscal agent and managed pieces layered on top, all overseen by the Department of Health and Welfare. For Medicare Part B, Idaho falls under Noridian Healthcare Solutions (JF), whose Local Coverage Determinations set medical necessity. A read billed without the right coverage confirmed, or a diagnosis that doesn't satisfy the Noridian LCD, will not pay on the interpretation alone.
The read is only half the claim. These are the levers our team sets on each Boise study.
| Billing element | How it drives payment in Boise |
|---|---|
| Prior authorization | MRI/CT/PET cleared through the plan's radiology-benefit manager before the scan |
| Teleradiology licensure | State licensure and payer enrollment confirmed for every read crossing county or state lines |
| 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 |
| Contrast and supervision | With/without-contrast codes and supervision level matched to the order |
| Modifiers | RT/LT laterality, 59 to unbundle, 76/77 for legitimate repeat reads |
Grounding all of it: a 99% clean-claim rate, roughly 99% net collections, A/R under 25 days, up to 40% fewer denials, and 90% of denials recovered on appeal, with claims submitted inside 24 hours.

Imaging groups here outsource because Idaho's spread-out, teleradiology-heavy reality punishes a general billing company that treats every claim like a walk-in office visit. As a medical billing services company built around radiology, we already carry the licensure checks, the RBM authorizations, and the 26/TC logic in our workflow. We run the whole cycle:
It all runs inside our radiology revenue cycle practice — one team, one dashboard, a 98% retention rate.
We bill hospital-based radiology groups reading for the Treasure Valley systems, freestanding MRI and CT centers, outpatient and mobile imaging operators, interventional radiology practices, and teleradiology groups covering Ada and Canyon counties and beyond — from Meridian and Nampa to Eagle, Caldwell, and the rural clinics that lean on Boise for advanced imaging. Whether you own the scanner, only the read, or both, we bill the pieces to match.
Medical billing for radiology in Boise lives and dies on licensure and enrollment, because a Treasure Valley group may read for clinics from the Panhandle to the Magic Valley. 247MBS confirms each radiologist's state licensure and payer enrollment before a cross-county read bills, secures the radiology-benefit-manager authorization advanced imaging requires, and verifies Idaho Medicaid coverage through the state's fee-for-service and Molina-administered systems up front — so studies feeding St. Luke's and Saint Alphonsus don't deny on eligibility. That front-end rigor gives Boise clients a 99% clean-claim rate with claims submitted inside 24 hours. Request a revenue review and we will flag the enrollment and authorization gaps costing you the most.
Start with a revenue review: we'll review your teleradiology enrollment, your advanced-imaging authorizations, your 26/TC splits, and your aging Idaho Medicaid A/R, then show you what professional radiology billing can recover.

Yes. For every read crossing county or state lines we confirm the radiologist's licensure and payer enrollment in the relevant state, then bill the professional component correctly. Enrollment gaps are the most common reason teleradiology reads deny, and we close them before submission.
We verify eligibility through the state's fee-for-service and Molina-administered systems before the study, so the claim routes to the coverage that will actually pay it rather than a lapsed or wrong plan.
Yes. We secure the radiology-benefit-manager authorization before the scan runs, because advanced-imaging denials are frequently non-appealable once the study is complete.
From solo practices to multi-provider groups, we bill Radiology for Boise practices with a dedicated account manager, certified coders and a live dashboard — so the units, authorizations and appeals that decide your month stop being the thing nobody has time for.
