General surgery claims often face reimbursement delays due to procedural coding and documentation requirements. The comparison below reveals key problem areas and how our billing specialists manage them
Our general surgery billing experts improve procedural reimbursement, strengthen global period compliance, and reduce claim delays that impact cash flow.
Healthcare providers across the country rely on OneMed Billing to manage their revenue cycle with accuracy, consistency, and specialty-specific expertise. Here is what some of them have to say.
“Global period tracking was not being managed systematically and we were billing postoperative E/M visits inside the surgical package without realizing it. OneMed identified the compliance gap, corrected our billing process, and our global period claims are now handled cleanly.”
“Our laparoscopic and open procedure codes were being used interchangeably by our previous biller based on the scheduled procedure, not the operative report. OneMed built an operative report review step into the billing workflow and our procedure code accuracy improved significantly. ”
“Assistant surgeon claims were being submitted on cases where the operative note did not clearly document medical necessity for assistance and we were getting consistent denials. OneMed reviewed the documentation requirements, worked with our clinical team to address the gaps, and our assistant surgeon claim acceptance rate improved measurably. ”
Yes. We manage CPT code selection across open, laparoscopic, and robotic-assisted procedures, verifying the operative approach from the operative report before every claim is submitted.
Yes. We work with most major surgical practice management and EHR platforms and can integrate with your current workflow without requiring a system change.
We track the global period for every procedure code and flag postoperative visits that fall within the global window, applying the correct modifier where separate billing is justified by a new or unrelated condition.
Yes. We manage assistant surgeon claims with complete operative documentation review and apply the correct modifier and co-surgeon billing rules where two surgeons operate in distinct roles on the same case.
We identify the specific billing issue, correct the CPT code combination or modifier application, and resubmit the claim within our standard turnaround window. Recurring bundling patterns are corrected at the charge entry level.
