Why do neurology claims take longer to get paid than most other specialties? Much of it revolves around documentation levels; EMG, EEG, and nerve conduction all have to be well documented and support the clinical indication, and the payers are very close to the codes and the medical necessity. Throw in complex evaluation and management coding for things such as epilepsy or multiple sclerosis, and the margin for error quickly narrows. Neurology medical billing requires medical billers to be well-versed in these details to ensure that they capture them the first time accurately, and not use a template that would fail to gain acceptance by the payers.
