General Surgery Billing Alerts that determine your revenue cycle

 

For a surgeon or medical practitioner, group practice, or clinic, insights into how specialty medical billing works can be a scary task. A billing agent that does not bill the sittings correctly misses deadlines, or does inadequate follow-up can have an abysmal effect on your facilities’ bottom line. However, a well-organized billing service cannot only simplify and improve your practice but also greatly improve both your income cycle and cash flow. At Medical Billers and Coders our specialist team is well trained in general and specialty surgery charging. For a general surgery practice to be financially successful, special attention must be paid to a number of factors, right from patient information and coding the full scope of services to following the Current Procedural Terminology codes and the Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System guidelines. Keep in mind that insurance provider payments are largely determined by these categories, and it is imperative that all information and codes are entered correctly by the billing team.

Avoid denials and reckless audit risks

Our general surgery coding personnel will strengthen your practice with timely guidance to overcome the challenges of general surgery coding updates that threaten your claims and compliance success.

Here are the updated General Surgery Coding alerts that determine your RCM:

• Capture the severity of rectal abscess with the K61 code set
• Use specific codes for cholangitis (K83.0)—including changed combination codes
