We are fully aware of the effort and commitment general surgeons make to their field. Your everyday workload shouldn’t include devoting a significant amount of time and effort to the intricacies of general surgery medical billing and coding. Did you realize that paperwork can take up to 25% of a doctor’s time?
For this reason, we advise hiring a seasoned billing firm like MedsureBilling to handle general surgery billing. We want you to spend more time doing what you love, which is caring for patients.
Revenue might rise by 20% to 30% for providers who contract with a professional billing business to handle surgical practice administration. MedsureBilling is a general surgery medical billing provider that increases your bottom line by accurately and promptly submitting both new and disputed claims. Our coding and billing experts boost productivity and save you time. Why wait, then?
In certain cases, seeing a doctor and receiving a diagnosis is paid separately from the operation that follows, but in other cases, it is regarded as a single visit. Medical billers are unlikely to know which way to code in each scenario unless they have a lot of experience.
Generally speaking, global surgical packages make medical billing easier by doing away with the need for distinct codes for every part of the procedure and the care that goes along with it. However, novice billers may find it challenging to remember the many packages and the codes that go with them. Each global surgery package is worth a significant amount, so it is crucial that a refusal resulting from a claim error does not postpone reimbursement.
It is typical for things to be omitted from the bill because surgical procedures involve numerous practitioners and have a lot of components. Over the course of a year, the ensuing revenue losses can stack up to a significant sum. Under-billing occurs when a practitioner does not bill for all services rendered; this is illegal and results in a loss of income.
Unlike the staff in a busy medical practice, Medsurebilling’s staff only deal with revenue cycle management (RCM), not treating patients. This means that we are able to stay on top of the latest coding changes and payers’ billing requirements. Our billers and coders are certified and experienced in general surgery medical billing and coding as well as many other specializations.
Maximizing your income requires promptly submitting claims and responding to denials and rejections, but Medsurebilling offers much more. We oversee your whole RCM and are on your side from start to finish. You can rely on us for everything from payer credentialing to bill collection. We also do yearly compliance and payback reviews. Our unique approach to medical billing and coding includes our proprietary software, which keeps all the coding data in the system current and facilitates the process for your employees.
