Anesthesiology Billing Built Around Your Practice

Anesthesia billing lives and dies by time units, base units, and modifiers that general billers routinely miscalculate. Small errors multiply across a busy surgical schedule.

Routine: Accurate start and stop times captured and reconciled against the surgical record.
Regional: Correct modifiers applied so each case is paid for what it's worth.
Complex: Medical direction and concurrency rules handled to protect against underbilling.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you handle billing for both physician anesthesiologists and CRNAs?

We manage billing for physician anesthesiologists, CRNAs operating under medical direction, and CRNAs billing independently.

How do you handle time unit calculation when payers use different rounding rules?

We track each payer's rounding methodology and apply the correct time unit calculation per payer when building and submitting claims, ensuring accurate reimbursement under each contracted rate.

Do you identify and dispute underpayments from payers applying incorrect conversion factors?

Yes. We track expected reimbursement per payer contract against posted payments and flag conversion factor discrepancies for dispute and recovery within our standard follow-up process.
