General Surgery Billing

General surgeries have a wide scope of surgery that range from appendectomy and hernia repairs to gallbladder removals and complex abdominal surgeries. These complex concerns of surgeries that may demand professional billing for general surgery. Since surgical procedures (from preoperative assessments down to various stages of postoperative care) are very critical, detailed, and efficient, billing becomes very vital with regard to proper reimbursement and the overall financial health of a surgical practice.
General surgery billing and coding services requires a deep understanding of the different CPT codes and ICD-10 codes for surgical interventions, anesthesia, diagnostic imaging, and follow-up care. The case complexity, complications arising, and extra services provided like emergency intervention or extended hospitalization should be documented for every surgical procedure. General surgeons are mostly found in a hospital setting, and this further complicates the process in terms of coordination between inpatient and outpatient care billing.
One of the huge challenges that arise in general surgery medical billing is to capture the entire suite of services related to the surgery appropriately by coding it, including anesthesia and postoperative follow-ups. In addition, many general surgery procedures have extra procedures performed during the case. This assumes importance in the case of bundled payments, where various services are grouped under a single payment code. Improper coding or incomplete documentation may result in claim denials, underpayment, or compliance issues, especially as medicare, medicaid, and private insurance payers have strict guidelines for surgical procedures.
