A single system for scheduling, claims and collections
Tebra combines practice management and billing in one platform, which means the same record that starts at check-in carries through coding, claim submission and payment posting.
Cardiology adds its own layer of complexity. Device interrogations, stress tests, catheterizations and remote monitoring all carry different documentation and coding rules, and Tebra's structure only helps if the billing work behind it is done correctly.
That is the part of the process our team manages inside your Tebra account, day in and day out.Billing work that follows the record
Your Tebra workflow connects scheduling, billing information and claims. Our role is to work the billing tasks that require review, correction, follow-up and reconciliation.
The billing tasks we handle for your cardiology practice
Tebra gives your practice the platform. We handle the review, correction and follow-up work that keeps claims moving and payments accurate.
Eligibility checks
We confirm active coverage, cardiology-specific benefit limits and any referral requirements before the visit is billed.
Prior authorization tracking
We log authorization numbers for catheterizations, device implants and imaging studies, and flag procedures that still need approval.
Charge and coding review
We check documentation against the codes entered for stress tests, echocardiograms, EP studies and cath lab procedures before claims go out.
Claim submission
We correct rejected claims and resubmit through Tebra's clearinghouse rather than letting them sit in a work queue.
Payment posting
We post ERAs and EOBs against the correct claim lines, including bundled cardiac procedure payments.
Denial and A/R follow-up
We research denied device and imaging claims, appeal where warranted, and keep aging balances moving toward resolution.
How a cardiology claim moves from visit to payment
Tebra records each step of the process. Our billing team reviews and corrects the information at each stage so claims are ready before they reach the payer.
Provider notes and procedure details are entered against the scheduled encounter.
We verify CPT and diagnosis codes match the documented cardiology service.
Verified claims are submitted electronically and tracked until accepted.
Payments are posted and any denial is worked until it is resolved.
Getting registration right before the claim exists
Most billing problems start before a claim is ever created. Wrong insurance information, an expired authorization or a missed referral will follow a claim through the entire cycle, so we review this information as part of registration rather than after a denial arrives.
- Insurance and demographic verification
- Referral and authorization checks
- Copay and deductible review
- Scheduling accuracy for cardiac testing
Matching cardiology documentation to the right codes
Cardiology billing depends on precise coding, particularly for device work, structural procedures and diagnostic testing, where a small coding error can trigger a denial or an incorrect payment. We review the clinical note against the codes before submission, not after the payer responds.
- CPT and ICD-10 accuracy checks
- Device and cath lab coding review
- Modifier application for bundled services
- Electronic claim submission through Tebra
Turning adjudicated claims into posted revenue
A paid claim is not the end of the work. Payments need to be posted against the correct line items, contractual adjustments applied correctly, and any shortfall investigated, especially on multi-procedure cardiology claims where a single remittance can cover several services.
- ERA and EOB payment posting
- Contractual adjustment review
- Underpayment identification
- Patient balance and statement support
Billing support across cardiology's different service lines
Cardiology practices rarely bill one type of service. Each area below carries its own documentation habits and payer scrutiny, and we adjust our review accordingly.
Stress testing, echocardiography and vascular studies, where interpretation and technical components are often billed separately.
Diagnostic and interventional catheterization claims, including coding for stents and other cath lab devices.
EP studies, ablations and device implants, along with the interrogation visits that follow.
Pacemaker, ICD and loop recorder interrogations, including remote monitoring billing where applicable.
Recurring visits and care management codes tied to chronic cardiovascular conditions.
Screening services and vascular studies that carry their own coverage rules by payer.

Billing support built around Michigan payers
Michigan cardiology practices deal with a payer mix that includes Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan, Priority Health, Health Alliance Plan and Medicare, each with its own claim requirements and turnaround expectations.

- Regional payer familiarity
- Authorized Tebra account access
- Michigan Medicare claim handling
- Local payer appeal processes
What we check before a claim leaves your account
These are the items we confirm on every cardiology claim before it reaches the payer.

- Authorization on file for the billed procedure

Billing support built specifically around cardiology
We work exclusively in medical billing, with a focus on the coding and payer patterns particular to cardiology.
Rather than treating every specialty the same, we built our review process around device billing, catheterization coding, diagnostic testing rules and the recurring visit patterns common in heart failure and preventive cardiology care.
We review device, cath lab and diagnostic claims against cardiology-specific coding rules.
Our team works inside your existing Tebra account rather than a separate system.
We investigate denied claims instead of writing them off as uncollectible.
Aging balances are worked on a regular schedule, not left to accumulate.
Every posted payment is checked against the expected contracted rate.
You can see claim status, collections and outstanding balances at any time.
Tebra Cardiology Billing FAQs
Q: Do you use our Tebra account, or your own system?
A: We work as authorized users inside your existing Tebra account, so your data stays in one place and you retain full visibility into the work being done.
Q: Can you handle cardiology-specific coding, or only general billing?
A: Our review process is built around cardiology coding, including device interrogations, catheterization procedures, electrophysiology studies and diagnostic imaging, rather than general medical billing rules alone.
Q: What happens when a claim is denied?
A: We research the denial reason, correct the claim where possible and resubmit it, or file an appeal when the denial is not supported by the payer's own policy.
Q: Do you handle prior authorizations?
A: We track authorization requirements for cardiac procedures and confirm approval is on file before the claim is submitted, rather than after a denial arrives.
Q: How do you handle Michigan-specific payers?
A: We are familiar with the claim and appeal requirements of Michigan payers such as Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan, Priority Health and Health Alliance Plan, along with the Medicare requirements that apply statewide.
Q: Will our patients still receive statements through Tebra?
A: Yes. Patient statements and online payment tools continue to run through Tebra. We manage the billing side and can support balance questions as needed.
Q: How do you handle payment posting for bundled cardiac procedures?
A: We post each remittance against the specific claim lines it covers, which matters for multi-procedure cardiology claims where a single payment can span several billed services.
Q: Do you only work on new claims, or also old A/R?
A: We work both. New claims are reviewed before submission, and we also take on aging accounts receivable to work through unresolved balances.
Q: What does your team need access to in order to start?
A: Authorized access within your Tebra account is the main requirement. From there we can review current claim status, payer contracts and outstanding A/R.
Q: Can we keep our current front-desk staff and scheduling process?
A: Yes. Your front-desk and scheduling workflow in Tebra stays the same. Our work sits on the billing side, after the visit has been documented.
