Radiology Billing Services in Utah
Utah's radiology 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 radiology coding complexity.
Why Utah Radiology Practices Need Specialized Billing
Utah's healthcare market includes 8,000+ physicians, and radiology 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 radiology procedure coverage and medical necessity requirements. Generic billing teams without UT specific knowledge leave revenue on the table.
Radiology billing itself is complex. Radiology coding requires understanding of professional (mod 26) vs technical (mod TC) component billing, contrast administration rules (with/without/both), and the complex coding for interventional radiology procedures. 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 radiology practices from Salt Lake City to St. George and across Utah.

Utah Payer Challenges for Radiology
Every UT payer has specific rules for radiology claims. Here's how we navigate them.
SelectHealth (Intermountain) Radiology Claims
SelectHealth (Intermountain) processes the largest share of Utah commercial radiology claims. We know their UT specific fee schedules, prior authorization requirements for radiology procedures, and their appeal timelines when claims are denied. 26/TC splits must match the service your practice actually provides.
Utah Medicaid Radiology Billing
Utah Medicaid routes radiology patients through 3 managed care plans: Healthy U, Molina, SelectHealth Community Care. Each MCO has its own radiology authorization and billing rules that we manage.
Medicare (Noridian) Radiology Coverage
Noridian processes Medicare radiology claims in Utah with its own Local Coverage Determinations. We navigate Noridian's policies around contrast rules to prevent medical necessity denials.
Denial Prevention for Utah Radiology
Common radiology denials in Utah include 26/tc splits must match the service your practice actually provides and with contrast, without contrast, and with+without have different codes and rates. Our team catches these issues before submission and appeals aggressively with UT payer-specific documentation when denials occur.
