Imaging Center billing that is efficient and effective

AHS billing technology links directly to your office (and hospital if you practice in multiple locations) RIS and other systems. Dictated radiology reports are translated directly to proper coding. When exceptions occur, our certified coders do the coding. If information is on paper, AHS workflow optimization enters data faster, with fewer errors. Software automation encompasses, and speeds, the entire billing cycle.

You get:

• Rapid service to billing intervals: measured in hours, not days or weeks.
• Increased collections from more accurate and more complete coding—all fully compliant.
• Reduced coding and billing costs.
• Decreased days in A/R.
