How does AI prevent missed TC/26 component splits?

Technical and professional component splits apply automatically based on site of service, instead of relying on manual calculation for every global claim.

Can AI check advanced-imaging prior authorization before scheduling?

Yes. Payer-specific authorization requirements are checked automatically before the schedule locks, so a study isn't performed against a missing authorization.

Does AI replace diagnostic imaging billing staff?

No. AI acts as a co-pilot, automating component splits and authorization checks so staff focus on true reconciliation mismatches and authorization gaps.

How does AI reconcile radiologist reads across multiple sites?

Reads reconcile automatically against the originating order across all sites, surfacing true mismatches instead of requiring manual cross-checking.

What should a diagnostic imaging practice look for in an AI platform?

Look for AI applied directly to component-split billing and advanced-imaging authorization, not a generic billing tool without imaging-specific rules.

Diagnostic Imaging

AI Software for Diagnostic Imaging

Powered with Artificial Intelligence. Built for Human Intelligence.

Diagnostic imaging bills split constantly between technical and professional components, and advanced imaging requires prior authorization that has to clear before the patient is ever scheduled. Unlimited Systems applies automation directly to both.

AI Built Around the Realities of Diagnostic Imaging

Diagnostic imaging's billing complexity comes from component-split billing and prior authorization requirements that vary by modality and payer.

Global claims have to split correctly into technical (TC) and professional (26) components based on site of service.
Advanced imaging — MRI, CT, PET — requires prior authorization that has to clear before scheduling, not after.
Radiologist reads across multiple sites have to reconcile against the correct originating order.
Payer-specific advanced-imaging authorization rules shift frequently and are hard to track manually.
A missed TC/26 split is one of the most common preventable revenue leaks in imaging billing.

Use Cases

Where AI Can Improve Diagnostic Imaging Operations

Problem: Global claims have to split correctly into technical and professional components based on site of service, and a missed split is one of the most common preventable revenue leaks in imaging billing.
Automation + Intelligence: TC/26 modifier splits apply automatically based on site of service.
Human Benefit: Billing staff review exceptions instead of calculating every split manually.
Business Benefit: 99.1% component-split accuracy on imaging claims.

Problem: Advanced imaging like MRI, CT, and PET requires prior authorization that has to clear before scheduling, and a missed check results in a canceled or unpaid study.
Automation + Intelligence: Payer-specific advanced-imaging authorization is checked automatically before the schedule locks.
Human Benefit: Schedulers know authorization status before confirming the appointment, not after the study is performed.
Business Benefit: Fewer denials and canceled studies tied to missing authorization.

Problem: Radiologist reads across multiple sites have to reconcile against the correct originating order, and manual reconciliation across sites is error-prone.
Automation + Intelligence: Reads reconcile against the originating order automatically across all sites.
Human Benefit: Staff investigate true mismatches instead of manually cross-checking every read.
Business Benefit: Fewer unbilled or misattributed reads.

Problem: Advanced-imaging authorization rules shift frequently by payer, and keeping staff current on every change is impractical.
Automation + Intelligence: Authorization requirements are checked against current payer rules automatically at scheduling.
Human Benefit: Staff don't have to manually track every payer's changing imaging authorization policy.
Business Benefit: Fewer denials tied to outdated authorization assumptions.

Problem: High-value advanced imaging claims can sit in the same AR queue as routine studies.
Automation + Intelligence: AR worklists prioritize by claim value and filing deadline.
Human Benefit: Collectors work the highest-value claims first.
Business Benefit: Faster resolution on the studies with the most cash at stake.

From Automation to Agentic AI

The Evolution of Intelligence in Diagnostic Imaging

Automate

TC/26 component splits and authorization checks apply automatically as studies are scheduled and billed.

Identify

Missing advanced-imaging authorizations and read-reconciliation mismatches are flagged before submission.

Prioritize

High-value imaging claims surface ahead of routine studies in the AR worklist.

Recommend

A study missing required prior authorization is flagged with the specific payer requirement, not just a scheduling conflict.

Act

Emerging capability: routine, correctly-documented authorization requests for standard imaging orders could be initiated automatically — a direction the architecture supports, not a feature live today.

Work by Exception

Work by Exception for Diagnostic Imaging

The scenario

An MRI order is scheduled for a payer that requires advanced-imaging prior authorization, but no authorization is on file.

How it's handled

Only that appointment is flagged for a scheduler to resolve before the study happens, while every other correctly authorized appointment moves forward without review.

Human Intelligence

Let AI Handle the Predictable. Let Your Imaging Team Handle What Matters.

Performing and interpreting studies, and coordinating urgent findings with referring physicians, are what diagnostic imaging staff are trained for. Automating component splits and authorization checks gives that time back.

Throughout the Platform

AI Across the Diagnostic Imaging Revenue Cycle

Financial Clearance Software

Eligibility, authorization, and estimates cleared before service is rendered.

Charge Validation Software

Specialty and payer rules catch charge errors before claims go out the door.

AR Management

Work claims by exception with a prioritized, aging-aware worklist.

Why Unlimited Systems for Diagnostic Imaging

Automatic TC/26 component splitting built for imaging's site-of-service rules.
Advanced-imaging prior authorization checks run before the schedule locks, not after the study.
Multi-site read reconciliation automated against the originating order.
Work by exception means staff review the studies with an actual authorization or reconciliation gap, not every order.
