Radiology Billing - How to Submit Claims to Insurance

The examples in this section are to help providers bill radiology procedures on the CMS-1500 claim form.  Refer to the Radiology:  Diagnostic section of this manual for detailed policy information.  Refer to the CMS-1500 Completion section of this manual for instructions to complete claim fields not explained in the following example.  For additional claim preparation information, refer to the Forms:  Legibility and Completion Standards section of this manual.


Billing Tips:     When completing claims, do not enter the decimal points in ICD-9-CM codes or dollar amounts.  If requested information does not fit neatly in the Reserved for Local Use field (Box 19) of the claim, type it on an 8½ x 11-inch sheet of paper and attach it to the claim.
