Neurology Billing Services in Utah
Utah's neurology practices face unique billing challenges shaped by SelectHealth (Intermountain)'s commercial rules, Utah Medicaid requirements, and Noridian Medicare policies. Our AAPC-certified coders specialize in both UT payer rules and neurology coding complexity.
Why Utah Neurology Practices Need Specialized Billing
Utah's healthcare market includes 8,000+ physicians, and neurology practices here face a payer market dominated by SelectHealth (Intermountain) on the commercial side and Utah Medicaid on the public payer side. Medicare claims are processed through Noridian, which applies its own Local Coverage Determinations that directly affect neurology procedure coverage and medical necessity requirements. Generic billing teams without UT specific knowledge leave revenue on the table.
Neurology billing itself is complex. Neurology diagnostic testing codes have professional and technical components, time-based elements, and study-specific documentation requirements. EMG/NCS (95907-95913, 95885-95886) requires documenting specific nerves tested. EEG (95816-95822) has awake, sleep, and long-term monitoring variants. When you combine this coding complexity with Utah's specific payer rules, authorization requirements, and 3 Utah Medicaid managed care plans that each have their own billing rules, you need a team that understands both dimensions. Go Medical Billing provides that expertise at 2.49% of collections, serving neurology practices from Salt Lake City to St. George and across Utah.

Utah Payer Challenges for Neurology
Every UT payer has specific rules for neurology claims. Here's how we navigate them.
SelectHealth (Intermountain) Neurology Claims
SelectHealth (Intermountain) processes the largest share of Utah commercial neurology claims. We know their UT specific fee schedules, prior authorization requirements for neurology procedures, and their appeal timelines when claims are denied. Nerve conduction and needle EMG have separate code families that must be coordinated.
Utah Medicaid Neurology Billing
Utah Medicaid routes neurology patients through 3 managed care plans: Healthy U, Molina, SelectHealth Community Care. Each MCO has its own neurology authorization and billing rules that we manage.
Medicare (Noridian) Neurology Coverage
Noridian processes Medicare neurology claims in Utah with its own Local Coverage Determinations. We navigate Noridian's policies around eeg variant selection to prevent medical necessity denials.
Denial Prevention for Utah Neurology
Common neurology denials in Utah include nerve conduction and needle emg have separate code families that must be coordinated and routine, extended, ambulatory, and video eeg each have different codes and documentation. Our team catches these issues before submission and appeals aggressively with UT payer-specific documentation when denials occur.
