General Surgery Medical Billing Services for Surgeons & Surgical Practices

Q: How do you bill for multiple procedures in one surgery?

When multiple procedures are performed in the same surgical session, we apply the correct multiple procedure modifiers (-51 for additional procedures, -59 for distinct procedural services). We also apply the NCCI (National Correct Coding Initiative) edits and payer-specific bundling rules to identify which procedures can be billed separately and which must be bundled — ensuring full reimbursement without triggering audits or denials.

Q: Do you handle pre-authorizations for surgeries?

Yes. We manage the complete prior authorization process for both elective and urgent surgeries, coordinating with the referring provider, payer, and facility. We prepare and submit the medical necessity documentation, track authorization status, and handle peer-to-peer reviews if the initial request is denied — reducing surgical delays and claim rejections.

Q: Can you manage both inpatient and outpatient surgical billing?

Absolutely. We handle billing for inpatient hospital surgeries, outpatient facility surgeries (ASC and HOPD), and office-based procedures. We apply the correct place-of-service codes, facility/non-facility fee schedules, and global package periods — ensuring the billing is appropriate for each setting and payer contract.

Q: How soon after surgery are claims submitted?

We aim to submit all claims within 24–48 hours of receiving the signed operative report and complete encounter documentation. Our automated claim scrubbing process reviews each claim for coding accuracy, modifier usage, ICD-10 linkage, and payer-specific requirements before transmission — maximizing first-pass acceptance rates and speeding up payment.
