Neurology
Healthcare IT and billing built for a neurology practice
Long-visit documentation, diagnostic testing and infusion therapy billing for neurology practices.
Why neurology is different
Neurology encounters are long, cognitively dense and often poorly captured by templates designed for fifteen-minute visits, which is why neurologists are among the most consistently undercoded specialists in medicine.
Healthcare SBC supports time-based and complexity-based E/M documentation, structured reporting for EEG, EMG and nerve conduction studies, and infusion workflows including the prior authorization that high-cost neurologic drugs require.
Common challenges
Where neurology practices lose revenue
The billing and workflow problems specific to this specialty, and the ones generic systems handle badly.
Undercoded prolonged visits
Complex neurologic evaluations frequently support high-level or prolonged service codes that never get billed.
Diagnostic testing components
EEG, EMG and NCS require correct professional and technical component billing and precise study documentation.
Infusion therapy billing
Drug acquisition, administration codes, units and waste documentation all have to align or the claim is underpaid.
Specialty drug authorization
High-cost neurologic therapies carry heavy prior authorization and step-therapy requirements.

FAQ
Neurology, frequently asked questions questions
- How do you capture prolonged service codes?
- Our coders review documented total time and medical decision-making against current E/M and prolonged service guidelines, identifying encounters that support additional units: a common source of recovered revenue in neurology.
- Do you bill EEG and EMG studies?
- Yes. Diagnostic neurophysiology studies are billed with correct professional and technical component handling based on equipment ownership and place of service, with documentation templates that satisfy payer requirements.
- Can you manage infusion therapy billing?
- Yes, including drug units, administration hierarchy, sequential and concurrent infusion coding, and JW waste documentation, along with prior authorization for high-cost agents.
