Why General Surgery Billing Is So Hard
Surgical billing demands precision and deep expertise. A single missed modifier in a global surgical package can trigger denials, delay payment, or reduce reimbursement. Coding guidelines change frequently, insurers shift rules often and procedures get more complex, documentation gaps grow and compliance becomes critical. Professional general surgery medical billing services providers can handle these for you. Saving you from underpayments, audit exposure, and from breaking the revenue cycle.
Our General Surgery Process
We use proven coding workflows, real-time audit tools, and intelligent automation. This combination reduces manual errors, accelerates clean claim submissions, and aligns billing with payer expectations. This results in fewer denials, faster reimbursements, and a more consistent cash flow across your general surgery practices without the need of an extra in-house staff.
Documentation Review
Our general surgery medical billing services team examines operative reports, pre-authorization documents, and all surgical documentation. Our certified coders apply correct CPT, ICD-10, and modifiers with payer-specific rules in mind. This precision prevents rejections, reduces delays, and aligns every submission with evolving insurer logic, boosting your chances of full and prompt reimbursement every time.
Claim Submission
Once coded, we scrub each claim using automated edits. The submissions are sent within 24 hours. We track payer-specific rules and rejection triggers like mismatched CPTs, missing modifiers, or NCCI edits and address them upfront. This speeds up reimbursement, prevents costly rejections, and improves overall claim accuracy for general surgery billing practices.
Payment Follow-up
Our AR team actively tracks payment cycles and follow-ups. We quickly appeal denied claims and identify underpayments using advanced analytics. With real-time dashboards, you get visibility into every transaction, making sure no revenue is left uncollected and that billing stays accurate, consistent, and compliant across your general surgery practice.
