Technical Component in Medical Billing Explained
In medical billing, the technical component is billed when services involve the use of medical equipment or lab work but do not include the interpretation of the results. The professional component covers the provider’s expertise in interpreting the data.
For example, a radiology lab bills for the technical component of an X-ray, while the radiologist bills separately for reading the X-ray.
