Radiology billing · Round Rock, TX
Radiology Billing Services in Round Rock, Texas
Radiology billing services in Round Rock serve one of Central Texas's fastest-growing tech suburbs, where commercial coverage from Dell and the broader Austin economy meets two competing hospital systems and a wave of new outpatient imaging.
Since 2005, 247MBS has paired a dedicated account manager, a free real-time dashboard, HIPAA compliance, and SOC 2 Type II security with hands-on Texas Medicaid and Novitas LCD expertise built for imaging.
Radiology Billing in Round Rock for Every Practice
Round Rock is the corporate home of Dell Technologies and the northern gateway to the Austin metro, a Williamson County boomtown where population and imaging demand have grown together for two decades. Two systems compete for that volume — St. David's Round Rock Medical Center and Ascension Seton Williamson — alongside freestanding diagnostic centers, orthopedic and sports-medicine MRI suites, and outpatient CT that serve a young, employed, commercially insured population. Tech-sector PPO plans and the rest of the Austin-area commercial book dominate, which puts the emphasis on clean prior authorization and precise site-of-service coding rather than on chasing thin public-payer margins.
That commercial weight comes with rules. Advanced imaging — MRI, CT, PET — is gated through radiology-benefit managers, and a study sent without the authorization on file is a non-appealable denial. Texas public payers frame the remainder: Medicaid runs through STAR and STAR+PLUS managed-care plans under HHSC, with claims routed through TMHP, and Medicare Part B in this region falls under Novitas Solutions (JH), whose Local Coverage Determinations govern medical necessity. With two hospital systems and multiple outpatient settings in play, the professional/technical split is a daily decision — global from an office-owned scanner, split into a 26 read plus a facility TC charge in the hospital — and billing the wrong component is how growing groups quietly lose revenue.
How radiology claims get paid
Every Round Rock study pays on the details our coders lock down before submission.
| Billing element | How it drives payment in Round Rock |
|---|---|
| Prior authorization | Commercial MRI/CT/PET cleared through the plan's radiology-benefit manager first |
| Professional vs technical | Modifier 26 for the read, TC for equipment; global only when one entity owns both |
| Site of service | Freestanding center bills global; hospital-based read at St. David's or Ascension splits the claim |
| Contrast and supervision | With, without, or with-and-without-contrast codes matched to the order and supervision level |
| Eligibility verification | Tech-sector PPO and Medicaid coverage confirmed and dated pre-scan |
| Modifiers | RT/LT laterality, 59 to unbundle NCCI edits, 76/77 for legitimate repeats |
That 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 Round Rock practices outsource radiology billing to 247MBS
Imaging groups here outsource radiology billing because RBM authorization, the two-system 26/TC split, contrast coding, and fast-growing volume 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 — commercial PPO benefits and Texas Medicaid coverage confirmed pre-scan
- Denial management and appeals — worked against the LCD, the authorization, and the contrast record, not just resubmitted
- Insurance credentialing — radiologists paneled across the Austin-area commercial networks and Texas Medicaid plans
- Revenue cycle management — the full charge-to-payment cycle scaled to your imaging growth on one platform
It all lives inside our radiology revenue cycle practice — one professional team, one dashboard, a 98% retention rate. A radiology-focused billing company keeps clean-claim rates high even as your volume climbs.

FAQ
Yes. We read the site of service on every claim, so a hospital-based interpretation splits into the professional and technical components while an office-owned scanner bills global, and you are never over- or under-billing a setting.
Our radiology workflows and coder capacity scale with you, holding the clean-claim rate and sub-25-day A/R steady as study counts rise rather than letting a backlog build.
We confirm the active STAR or STAR+PLUS plan through HHSC and TMHP, then secure the radiology-benefit-manager authorization before the study, because those denials are usually non-appealable after the fact.
