Cardiology billing services in Minnesota

Sources checked: . Sources and review scope.

Cardiology billing services in Minnesota start with NGS for Medicare jurisdiction J6. Its published coverage policies are one part of Medicare claim requirements. Policies can overlap across contractors, so payment under one contractor doesn't guarantee payment under another. We bill cardiology only, remotely, at 3% of collections.

NGS and the J6 rulebook

National Government Services holds Medicare jurisdiction J6, which covers Minnesota, Illinois and Wisconsin. Its local coverage policies list supporting diagnoses and required documentation for imaging and monitoring. A study that pays under one contractor can be denied under another.

We check the applicable policy before filing. If documentation appears incomplete, we flag it for the practice to review before submission. Only the treating clinician can determine or change clinical documentation.

Minnesota health plans and Medical Assistance

Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota, HealthPartners and Medica cover much of the commercial market. UnitedHealthcare and other Medicare Advantage plans cover many older patients.

Minnesota Medical Assistance and MinnesotaCare are distinct state coverage programs. Eligibility, coverage route and billing instructions depend on the member's program, so we confirm the applicable information before billing.

Cardiology practices we serve in Minneapolis, St. Paul, Rochester, Duluth

Minnesota is served remotely; payer directions depend on the program, member, service and contract. We confirm the applicable billing instructions and prepare payer-specific monthly collection reports.

Border practices bill across state lines every week. Duluth sees Wisconsin patients from Superior, and Wisconsin is also J6. Moorhead sees North Dakota patients, whose Medicaid and commercial plans follow North Dakota rules. Their Medicare claims follow where you treat them, so they still go to NGS.
