Cardiology Practice Network (CPN)
MedAxiom creates a sense of community within our member practices
by providing a peer-to-peer network. This network allows our members
to learn from one another and exchange information about important
decisions the practices face every day. MedAxiom facilitates numerous
listservs (CEO, IT, Coding Managers, Lead Physician, etc.) that
allow real-time interaction between the leaders and staff of these
practices. MedAxiom also conducts educational webinars, both operational
and clinical, on a variety of timely topics. And, our member meetings
have become the standard in cardiology practice management educational
programming.
Business Office and Coding Network (BOCN)
It’s all too easy to overlook the critical importance of
billing and coding. The Business Office and Coding Network (BOCN)
is a closely managed cardiology-specific network designed to enhance
the performance of your coding/billing staff and business-office
management team.
Membership in the BOCN will give your practice ongoing training
and tools for every member of the business office. The BOCN offers
at least one event each month and makes extensive use of webinars
so your entire staff can receive training without ever leaving
the office. This saves you time and travel expenses, making it
affordable to continue educating vital staff members who are sometimes
overlooked. Plus, for BOCN members there is never a registration
fee for meetings and webinars!
The BOCN is invaluable because your practice needs every staff
member trained appropriately; assuring that coding and billing
are done accurately and efficiently. The BOCN helps you achieve
that important goal.

Auditing Services for Cardiology — All cardiology
practices can benefit from a review of billed codes compared with
the clinical documentation that supports that E&M or procedure
code. MedAxiom’s auditing services focus on high volume or
highly reimbursed services to assist practices in finding opportunity
to maximize revenue while also maximizing compliance. Auditing will
identify services that could be coded more effectively and will
also provide a basis to provide physician education on key billing
details that may be missing from their reports.
Education for physicians and billing staff is helpful after an audit
to fine-tune those sub-specialty areas that may have shown opportunity
based on audit agreement rates. All auditing and educational services
are broken down into the categories listed below. You may have opportunity
in only one area but a broad sampling may find areas for learning
in both procedures and E&M visits. Our audit and educational
areas include:
- E&M – Evaluation and Management Services
- Coronary Cath and Interventional Procedures
- Invasive Peripheral Vascular Procedures
- Electrophysiology (EP) Studies and Ablations
- Devices including pacemakers and ICD’s
- Office Based Imaging/Non-invasive Diagnostics
Auditing Services are generally performed off-site while physician
and staff education is most effective on-site.
