THE HARD PARTS

What makes interventional cardiology billing hard

Procedure notes that decide payment

Each vessel, lesion and device has to be in the note. A missing detail turns a complex procedure into a simpler one on the claim.

Hospital place of service

Lab procedures are billed with the hospital or facility place of service while the clinic runs on its own schedule.

Approvals before elective cases

Elective catheterizations and structural procedures often need prior authorization and documented testing first.

WHERE THE WORK HAPPENS

How interventional cardiology care is delivered and billed

Interventional cardiologists see patients in clinic and perform diagnostic and therapeutic catheterizations, coronary interventions and structural heart procedures in the hospital lab. Clinic visits are billed on the professional claim; lab procedures are billed by the physician with the hospital place of service while the hospital bills the facility claim. Emergency procedures for heart attacks happen at any hour, so documentation often has to be completed after the case.

What payers check on interventional cardiology claims

Coronary interventions are billed by vessel and by technique, so the note must name each vessel treated and how.
The reason for a catheterization must be documented before the procedure, usually with abnormal testing or symptoms.
Myocardial infarction codes depend on type and timing, and the note must make both clear.
Procedures carry a global period, and routine care inside it is not billed separately.
Structural heart procedures follow national coverage requirements that include documented team evaluation.

Common interventional cardiology diagnoses ICD-10-CM

I21.4	Non-ST elevation (NSTEMI) myocardial infarction
I21.09	ST elevation (STEMI) myocardial infarction involving other coronary artery of anterior wall
I25.10	Atherosclerotic heart disease of native coronary artery without angina pectoris
I20.9	Angina pectoris, unspecified
I35.0	Nonrheumatic aortic (valve) stenosis
Z95.5	Presence of coronary angioplasty implant and graft

Examples only. The provider chooses the code that matches the documented diagnosis, and XEHR checks it against the note and the payer's rules before the claim goes out.

A VISIT ON XEHR

An interventional cardiology visit, start to payment

BUYER'S GUIDE

Questions to ask before you choose an interventional cardiology EHR

Ask every vendor, including us. The answers show whether a system was built for interventional cardiology work or only adapted to it.

Ask us on a demo

Do procedure notes capture each vessel, lesion and device so the claim matches the work?
Can elective cases be flagged for prior authorization with the test results attached?
Is the global period started automatically from the procedure?
Can after-hours emergency cases be documented quickly and completed later?
Can structural heart team evaluations be documented before the procedure?

QUESTIONS

Interventional Cardiology practices ask us

Does XEHR support catheterization lab billing?

Yes. Procedures are documented in detail and billed with the facility place of service.

Can XEHR track global periods after procedures?

Yes. The global period starts with the procedure, so follow-up visits are billed only when they are separate.

Does XEHR handle prior authorization for elective cases?

Yes. Elective procedures are flagged and the request is prepared from the chart and the earlier test results.

Can structural heart programs use XEHR?

Yes. Evaluation visits, imaging and the team decision are documented together before the procedure.

Does XEHR support cath lab documentation by dictation?

Yes. The AI drafts the procedure note from dictation for the cardiologist to review and sign.

Can XEHR code myocardial infarction type and timing?

Yes. The note records type and timing so the correct code is used.

Can interventional cardiologists bill peripheral procedures?

Yes. Procedures are documented by vessel and billed with the right setting.

How much does XEHR cost for an interventional cardiology practice?

Pricing is published: $189 per provider per month for the Clinical plan, $449 per provider per month for the Practice Suite with billing, or 2.5% of collections for RCM as a Service. Month-to-month, with a BAA on every plan. See pricing.

How long does it take an interventional cardiology practice to go live?

Small practices are usually live in 2 to 4 weeks, including setup, data migration and training. We agree the plan with you before you sign.
