Diagnostic Center Billing & RCM Services

Tailored RCM for Imaging, Radiology & Diagnostic Centers

Diagnostic centers face unique billing challenges: strict payer documentation rules, prior authorizations, medical necessity validations, and complex coding workflows for imaging services. These pain points often lead to high denial rates, delayed payments, and lost revenue.

Impact Innovations delivers specialized RCM solutions for diagnostic & imaging centers, ensuring complete accuracy—from front-end scheduling and authorizations to clean claim submission and AR recovery.

Whether you operate a standalone facility or a multi-location diagnostic group, our team supports your entire billing lifecycle with precision.

Why Diagnostic Billing Requires Specialized Expertise

Diagnostic billing differs significantly from standard physician billing due to:

  • Prior authorization requirements for CT, MRI, PET, ultrasound

  • Frequent denials for “lack of medical necessity”

  • Documentation gaps between ordering provider & diagnostic center

  • Modifiers & technical/professional component billing

  • High claim volume with strict timelines

  • Bundling/unbundling rules under payer policies

A generic billing workflow simply doesn’t work for diagnostic centers.
Our processes are customized for high-volume imaging and diagnostic workflows.
