Neurology Medical Billing Services
Neurology visits are long, complex, and frequently under-billed. Add EEG, EMG, and infusion services and the coding surface gets wide enough that a systematic process matters more than individual effort.

Long visits deserve accurate coding
A neurologist managing seizures, neuropathy, or cognitive decline may spend substantial time on history, examination, and coordination. When that time is not captured, the visit is billed below the work performed.
We review time-based and complexity-based coding against the note and report on the gap, so the correction can be applied consistently rather than claim by claim.
- Time-based visit coding and prolonged services
- EEG, EMG, and nerve conduction billing
- Infusion and injection administration
- Chronic-condition follow-up and coordination
Testing and authorization
Advanced neurological testing often requires authorization, and some require specific indications. Denials here are expensive and slow to resolve.
We check authorization and indications before submission, then track appeal timelines when a denial still happens.
Measures worth reviewing
Numbers only help if they are defined the same way each month. These are the four we would look at first for a neurology practice.
- Visit level distribution against documented time and complexity
- Testing denial rate and authorization compliance
- Infusion claim turnaround
- Days in A/R by service line
Frequently asked questions
Yes, with separate reporting for visits, testing, and infusion services so each can be improved independently.
