CodeRyte signs two radiology billing companies

ADVOCATE Radiology Billing and Reimbursement Specialists and RMI Physician Services have entered into multi-year agreements to continue and expand their use of CodeRyte’s services for radiology coding.

Under the new agreements, the Powell, Ohio-based ADVOCATE and the Houston-based RMI will receive complete CPT coding charge capture, ICD coding and compliance including full audit trails, CodeRyte said.

With correct-to-bill methodology, both companies can send reports that would not benefit from human coding review straight to their billing systems, according to the Bethesda, Md.-based company.
