Medivanced’s Surgery Medical Billing Services are specifically designed to meet the complex billing needs of surgical practices across various specialties, including General Surgery, Orthopedic Surgery, Cardiothoracic Surgery, Neuro-Surgery, Vascular Surgery, and Trauma Surgery. We deeply understand the intricacies of surgical documentation, the Global Surgical Package rules, and the high-value nature of these claims. Our expert team ensures that your surgical practice receives accurate and timely reimbursement for all preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative services. We manage the entire billing cycle, allowing your surgeons and support staff to focus entirely on optimal patient outcomes and surgical excellence while we handle the demanding financial aspects.
Medivanced manages the complete credentialing and enrollment process for surgeons and surgical groups. From the initial preparation of applications to diligent follow-ups and facility privileges confirmation, we ensure your surgeons are successfully credentialed and authorized to bill all major commercial, Medicare, and Medicaid payers. We stay current with all payer-specific regulations and compliance standards related to surgical payment. Once your surgeons are approved, we seamlessly integrate their credentials with our billing operations, ensuring efficient claims submission for both facility-based and office-based procedures and uninterrupted revenue flow.
Our certified coders are specialists in surgical coding, proficiently applying the most current ICD-10 (for diagnoses of conditions requiring surgery), CPT (for surgical procedures), and HCPCS codes. Whether it involves complex coding for robotic surgery, billing for assistant surgeons (modifier -80), correctly applying the multiple procedure discount rule (modifier -51), or navigating the intricacies of the Global Surgical Package, we ensure every detail of the surgery and associated care is accurately captured and billed. By strictly adhering to modifier rules, operative report documentation requirements, and medical necessity standards, we significantly reduce claim denials and maximize appropriate reimbursement for every surgical encounter.
Medivanced provides end-to-end Revenue Cycle Management (RCM) for surgical practices, overseeing every step from pre-authorization for procedures to managing the post-operative period and final payment posting. Our proactive RCM approach actively identifies potential revenue leaks, improves the accuracy of charge capture (especially for facility charges and supplies), and meticulously tracks critical Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) such as initial denial rates, days in accounts receivable (AR), and collection efficiency. We are dedicated to stabilizing your practice’s cash flow and ensuring its robust financial health while your focus remains on surgical care.
Our specialized denial management team works tirelessly to recover revenue from denied or underpaid claims common in high-value surgical billing. We continuously monitor all rejected claims, accurately identify the fundamental root causes of denials (e.g., lack of proper pre-authorization, inadequate documentation of medical necessity in the operative report, or unbundling errors), and implement rapid corrective measures. We promptly resolve issues related to incorrect coding, missing clinical or operative documentation, or complex payer-specific guidelines to quickly recover lost revenue. We also provide comprehensive denial analysis reports, offering valuable insights into common denial patterns to help your surgical team refine documentation and reduce future denials.
