MedCare MSO is a general surgery medical billing company that submits denied or new claims quickly and without errors, which results in good things for your bottom line. Our billing and coding specialists save you time and make you money, so why wait?
Confusion Over E/M Coding
In general surgery, a physician consultation, diagnosis, and subsequent surgical procedure may sometimes be billed separately, while in other cases they may be considered part of the same surgical encounter. Determining the correct billing approach requires a thorough understanding of CPT coding, global surgical package rules, modifiers, documentation, and payer-specific requirements.
HBS’s experienced surgical billing specialists carefully review each encounter to determine the appropriate coding and billing methodology. We apply the correct CPT and ICD-10 codes and modifiers to help prevent bundling errors, denials, and underpayments. This ensures eligible services are billed accurately, reimbursements are maximized, and your practice’s revenue is protected.
Global Surgery Packages
In general, global surgery packages simplify medical billing by eliminating the requirement for separate codes for each aspect of the surgery and its related care. However, keeping track of the various packages and their associated codes can be difficult for inexperienced billers. Because each global surgery package represents a large sum, it is especially important that reimbursement is not delayed by a denial that results from an error on the claim.
Under-Billing
Because surgical procedures have so many components and involve multiple practitioners, it is common for something to be left out of the bill. The resulting losses of revenue can add up to a very large amount over the course of a year. When a practitioner fails to bill for all services delivered, it is called under-billing, and is a violation of the law, in addition to causing a loss of revenue.
