Radiology billing · Concord, NH
Radiology billing services in Concord have to satisfy two very different masters — New Hampshire's Medicaid Care Management plans and a single, unforgiving Medicare contractor — and 247MBS has reconciled both since 2005.
You get a dedicated account manager, a free real-time dashboard, HIPAA-compliant and SOC 2 Type II handling, and a team that bills every Concord MRI, CT, and PET against the state capital's actual payer rules.
As the state capital, Concord anchors an imaging market centered on Concord Hospital and a ring of independent and hospital-affiliated diagnostic centers serving central New Hampshire. It is not a huge metro, but the payer complexity is outsized for its size. New Hampshire runs its Medicaid program through Medicaid Care Management — managed-care organizations contracted by the state Department of Health and Human Services — so the plan authorizing an advanced study, and the edits it applies, shift from patient to patient.
On the Medicare side, New Hampshire falls under National Government Services (Jurisdiction JK), and its Local Coverage Determinations decide which diagnoses justify a scan. A Concord radiology group therefore has to clear an MCO's prior-authorization requirement on the front end and satisfy an NGS medical-necessity policy on the back end — two checkpoints, one claim.
Every Concord study is a chain of billing decisions we make before the claim ever leaves the building.
| Billing element | How it drives payment in Concord |
|---|---|
| Prior authorization | MRI/CT/PET cleared through the plan's radiology-benefit manager first |
| Professional vs technical | Modifier 26 for the interpretation, TC for the equipment; global only when one entity owns both |
| Site of service | Hospital-based read splits the claim; office ownership bills global |
| LCD / medical necessity | Diagnosis matched to the covering NGS JK policy |
| Contrast and supervision | With/without-contrast codes and supervision level tied to the order |
| Modifiers | RT/LT laterality, 59 to unbundle, 76/77 for legitimate repeat reads |
That workflow sits on 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.

Practices here outsource radiology billing because a general billing company treats an imaging claim like any office encounter — and imaging is nothing like an office encounter. As a medical billing services company built specifically around radiology, we already carry the MCO authorization logic, the NGS LCD map, and the component-split rules before your first claim goes out. We run the whole cycle:
All of it runs inside our radiology revenue cycle practice — one accountable team, one dashboard, a 98% retention rate.
We bill hospital-based radiology groups reading for the Concord facilities, freestanding MRI and CT centers, outpatient and mobile imaging operators, interventional radiology practices, and teleradiology groups covering Concord and the surrounding central-New Hampshire towns of Bow, Hooksett, Pembroke, and Penacook. Whether you own the equipment, only the read, or both, we bill the professional and technical pieces to match.
Medical billing for radiology in Concord means clearing two checkpoints on every claim — the Medicaid Care Management plan's authorization up front and the National Government Services necessity policy on the back end — and 247MBS handles both before the claim ships. We confirm the patient's active MCO, secure the benefit-manager approval, and set the professional/technical split for Concord Hospital reads and freestanding center studies alike, so advanced imaging isn't lost to an unappealable denial. Since 2005 our imaging desk has run a 99% clean-claim rate with A/R under 25 days, keeping a small central-New-Hampshire book paying like a much larger one. Request a revenue review and we'll show what your Concord claims can recover.
Start with a revenue review: we'll review your MCO authorizations, your 26/TC splits, your NGS LCD matches, and your aging A/R, then show you what professional radiology billing can recover.
Concord practices are billed out of the same New Hampshire desk. Statewide payer detail lives on the New Hampshire page.
New Hampshire Radiology billing services — the payer programs, authorities and rules behind every Concord claim.
Outsourcing Radiology Billing Services — the codes, unit rules and denials nationally, without the local layer.
We confirm the patient's active MCO before the study and secure the radiology-benefit-manager authorization it requires. Because those advanced-imaging denials are usually unappealable once the scan is done, that pre-scan verification is the single most valuable step in a Concord claim.
Yes. New Hampshire's Medicare Part B claims run under National Government Services JK, whose Local Coverage Determinations govern necessity. We check the ordering diagnosis against the covering policy first, so the read isn't denied on necessity after the fact.
Yes. We set the professional/technical split per site of service — modifier 26 where you only interpret, global where you own the equipment and the read — so neither claim is over- or under-billed.
From solo practices to multi-provider groups, we bill Radiology for Concord 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.
