Surgery Billing
General surgery encompasses procedures involving various organs such as the oesophagus, stomach, small and large intestines, liver, pancreas, gallbladder, appendix, bile ducts, thyroid gland, and others. Medical billers and coders specializing in general surgery must have knowledge of the codes and terminology used in this field.
General surgeons demonstrate significant expertise by performing complex procedures such as bariatric surgery and hernia repair, using advanced technology such as robots for minimally invasive and open procedures. However, staying up-to-date with the latest technological advancements leaves little time for general surgeons to focus on medical billing and reimbursements. Collaborating with revenue cycle management (RCM) firms has its benefits, but general practitioners, hospitals, surgical clinics, or diagnostic partners may struggle with coding inaccuracies or lack of follow-up. The billing and coding team must be knowledgeable about the duties of surgeons, the use of modifiers for same-day procedures, global surgical packages, and recording unlisted procedures for accurate billing and coding.
Outsourcing your general surgery billing and coding to OneMed Billing ensures complete control over revenue flow and enhances the patient experience. Our commitment to delivering exponential revenue growth is achieved through a combination of advanced technology and a highly skilled workforce.
