About Your Urgent Care Center
99. We do x-rays at our urgent care and would like to know if there are different modifers for the procedures that we do in the office. If you have a list for xrays could I get those sent to my email?
Modifiers for x-rays are not unique to the urgent care setting. Commonly used modifiers for x-ray in the urgent care setting include:
- -R or -L
- -TC
- -26
- -52
- -76
Practice Velocity is involved in helping urgent care centers in several ways. Let me review several of our affiliated businesses (all owned by the same three urgent care physicians):
- Practice Velocity: software solutions for marketing, charting, automated coding, billing, occupational medicine protocols and collections.
- NMN Consultants: has consulted more than 100 startup urgent care centers. Consulting services include pro-forma help, purchasing advice, floor plan review, and a checklist of over 1,500 items to complete in the startup of an urgent care center.
- PV Billing® : with over 50 billers, we provide full-service billing services and managed care contracting and credentialing for urgent care centers in many states.
- Physicians Immediate Care: We have operated urgent care centers for over twenty years, and our twelve-clinic network is the foundation and launching pad for all of our other businesses. We will be opening two additional centers circa June, 2008. We have done one joint-venture clinic and are actively developing a framework for (but are not yet offering) franchising opportunities.
With over 750 urgent care centers in 49 states, Practice Velocity now serves more urgent care centers for charting and coding than all other systems combined.
Our Guarantee: Practice Velocity will exceed your expectations with the:
- fastest charting
- easiest implementation
- most return on investment (usually over $10 increased revenue per patient)
Thirty-Day Trial: Try PiVoTs for charting and coding for 30-days. If we don’t deliver, simply stop using the product and you don’t pay a thing. No questions asked.
