Neurology Practice Management Realities
Neurology practice management spans general neurology clinic work, sub-specialty neurology (epilepsy, stroke, MS, movement disorders, headache, neuromuscular), in-office procedures (EMG/NCS, EEG, botox, lumbar puncture), and infusion workflow (MS disease-modifying therapies, IVIG, newer Alzheimer's and ALS therapies). Medicare patient mix typically 45-60% given age distribution of neurologic disease. Complex medication management (antiepileptic drugs with level monitoring, MS DMTs with PML surveillance, botox for multiple indications) creates substantial prior auth and monitoring workload per American Academy of Neurology.
Revenue Cycle Complexity
Revenue cycle combines E/M, in-office procedures, and specialty pharmacy/infusion workflow. EMG/NCS billing (CPT 95860-95872 for EMG, 95900-95904 for NCS) is substantial procedure revenue. EEG billing (CPT 95812-95822) for routine and prolonged EEG. Botox workflow: injections bill 64612-64617 per anatomic area, plus drug (J0585 for Botox) with buy-and-bill. Multiple indications (chronic migraine per PREEMPT, cervical dystonia, spasticity) each require prior auth documentation. MS DMT specialty pharmacy coordination. IVIG infusion workflow for CIDP, myasthenia, other neuroimmune conditions.
Operational Workflow
Operational workflow balances clinic and procedure days. Clinic schedule: new patient evaluations (long slots for comprehensive neuro exam), established follow-up, sub-specialty-specific visits. Procedure days: EMG/NCS lab, EEG scheduling, botox clinic days, lumbar puncture. Infusion workflow for MS DMTs (Ocrevus every 6 months, Tysabri monthly), IVIG (monthly for neuroimmune), and newer agents. MS DMT monitoring (JCV serology for Tysabri PML surveillance, liver enzymes, lymphocyte counts). Stroke workflow for hospital-affiliated neurologists.
Regulatory & Industry Framework
What Changes at Scale
Scaling neurology creates operational leverage through procedure lab concentration and infusion operations. Mid-size groups (5-10 neurologists) support in-house EMG/NCS lab, EEG capability, botox clinic, and infusion center. Large groups operate multi-location with sub-specialty concentration (MS center, epilepsy center, movement disorder center, headache center, neuromuscular). PE involvement in neurology is emerging — focused on infusion-heavy sub-specialties (MS, neuroimmune).

How an Engagement Starts
Our process is structured, documented, and starts with listening — not pitching.
Step 1 — Discovery call (30 minutes, no obligation). Practice owner or office manager. We listen. What's working, what's broken, what's the immediate pain point. No pitch, no vendor pressure, no slide deck.
Step 2 — Scoped assessment. On-site or remote — we inventory infrastructure, EHR environment, cybersecurity posture, vendor contracts, and clinical workflow patterns. Typically 2-5 business days depending on practice size. Deliverable: a written assessment with findings and prioritized remediation recommendations.
Step 3 — Proposal and engagement structure. If Neurology practice management is a fit, we propose an engagement — scope, pricing, timeline, measurable outcomes. No long-term lock-in contracts on first engagement. If we're not the right fit, we'll tell you directly.
Step 4 — Onboarding and delivery. Structured 30-60 day onboarding with clear milestones. Documentation, tooling deployment, knowledge transfer, and operational handoff. You know exactly what's happening and when.

Why Qventive, Specifically
Not a pitch — a factual description of how we're structured differently.
Healthcare-exclusive since 1994. Every engineer, every helpdesk technician, every account manager works only with medical practices. No retail, no law firms, no logistics companies. That focus has operational consequences — our on-call engineer at 2 a.m. knows what a downtime toolkit is for Epic. Our helpdesk understands that “the EHR is slow” is an emergency, not a ticket.
Steve Gerbino founded this company in 1994. The founder still answers questions. The depth of specialty and clinical workflow knowledge compounded over three decades is genuinely hard to replicate — and it's why we serve solo practices, group practices, multi-location practices, FQHCs, ASCs, concierge medicine, hospital-adjacent practices, and PE-backed platforms with equal depth.
Observe-Improve-Prevent methodology. Every engagement starts with observation — shadowing providers, auditing infrastructure, reviewing documentation. We don't assume. Then we improve based on what we actually see. Then we monitor continuously to prevent drift. This isn't a marketing slogan — it's an operational pattern baked into how our engineers work.
Geographic proximity. Our Bergen County headquarters in Hackensack means fast on-site response across NJ. We're not a 50-state remote-only MSP. When something needs hands-on work — new infrastructure, physical troubleshooting, device deployment — we send people.

Frequently Asked Questions
Detailed answers from 30+ years of healthcare-exclusive IT and practice management expertise.
How do you handle EMG/NCS billing?+
EMG (95860-95872 by limb/paraspinal count), NCS (95900/95903 motor, 95904 sensory, with limb count). Combined EMG+NCS is highest-payment procedure workflow. Interpretation separate from technical (-26/-TC). Documentation must support medical necessity (diagnosis code, specific findings tested). Bundling rules limit combinations.
What about botox workflow?+
Botox (onabotulinumtoxinA) for chronic migraine (per PREEMPT protocol — 31 injection sites), cervical dystonia, spasticity, blepharospasm, others. CPT 64612-64617 for injections plus J0585 for drug. Buy-and-bill economics. Prior auth per indication. Documentation-intensive given multiple injection sites.
How do you handle MS DMT management?+
MS disease-modifying therapies: injectable (Copaxone, Kesimpta), oral (Tecfidera, Gilenya, Mavenclad, Mayzent), infused (Ocrevus, Tysabri, Lemtrada). Specialty pharmacy coordination (Ocrevus infused, others oral or self-inject). Monitoring: Tysabri requires JCV serology for PML surveillance. Prior auth extensive.
What's AAN Axon Registry?+
Axon is AAN's neurology-specific QCDR for MIPS. Automated data extraction from EHR. Neurology measures across epilepsy, stroke, dementia, MS, headache. MIPS submission through Axon typically outperforms manual reporting given measure alignment.
How do you handle epilepsy workflow?+
AED (antiepileptic drug) management with level monitoring, seizure diary integration, status epilepticus protocol, epilepsy monitoring unit (EMU) referral for medication-refractory cases. Driving restrictions and DMV reporting (NJ requires neurologist reporting).
What about stroke workflow?+
Acute stroke: tPA/tenecteplase workflow (hospital-based, time-critical). Chronic stroke: secondary prevention (anticoagulation management for AFib stroke, statin optimization, BP management), rehabilitation coordination. Get With The Guidelines-Stroke registry for hospital-affiliated.
How do you handle newer Alzheimer's therapies?+
Lecanemab (Leqembi) and donanemab (Kisunla) are new anti-amyloid monoclonals for early Alzheimer's. Infused every 2 or 4 weeks. Extensive prior auth (diagnosis confirmation, MRI for ARIA surveillance, eligibility criteria). Reshaping neurology infusion economics post-2023.
How does PE change neurology PM?+
PE-backed neurology platforms (emerging segment) concentrate infusion operations across acquired practices, centralize prior auth, standardize protocols for MS/neuroimmune care. See PE page.
