Ask your radiology techs about their role in coding, reimbursement, and compliance. If they answer, "That's not my job," tell them to think again.

Radiology technologists do more than take and process images. Some select ICD-9 or CPT codes, check and verify orders, perform tests based on diagnoses, and document their activities. Every one of those steps has a significant impact on reimbursement. Any missteps along the way jeopardize not only the organization's financial stability, but compliance as well.

Give your radiology technologists a training and reference tool they can use to help your department capture appropriate charges for radiology studies. Give them The Radiology Technologist's Coding-Compliance Handbook

This 64-page training handbook, sold in packages of 10 copies, includes 16 modality-specific case scenarios to help your technologist staff learn:

• what to do when referring physicians fail to provide diagnostic information documenting the reason for the test
• append modifiers to diagnostic test orders - do's and don'ts
• conduct a medical necessity check
• prevent coding mistakes on the back end and compliance breakdowns with Medicare and private payer rules

When your organization follows the rules you improve revenue and lessen the chance of a visit from the Office of Inspector General. <

BONUS WITH EVERY HANDBOOK
Each handbook includes a form to properly document phone orders and to collect information on incomplete or invalid test orders.

REVIEWED BY THREE TECHNOLOGISTS
Every hospital expects its radiology technologists to have core competencies and training, but few have found a way to improve technologists' knowledge of crucial coding and compliance. We asked three veteran RTs to review the handbook to make sure it addresses every scenario!

The Radiology Technologist's Coding-Compliance Handbook gives managers the right tool for inservice coding and compliance training. Staff get the training they need, and you'll be able to benchmark progress as you watch claim errors decline and revenue increase.

Radiology managers and administrators, compliance, HIM, and patient financial services directors will all find The Radiology Technologist's Coding-Compliance Handbook a cost-effective way to improve technologists' basic understanding of coding and compliance rules.
