Why Orthopedic Billing Demands Specialized Expertise

Orthopedic billing is distinct from other specialties. Your claims involve intricate surgical codes, global periods, and hardware documentation that general billers often miss. Here's what makes orthopedic revenue cycle management uniquely challenging:

Complex Coding Requirements

Orthopedic coding involves thousands of procedure codes. A total knee arthroplasty (CPT 27447) requires different documentation than an arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (CPT 29827). One incorrect digit can result in denied claims or compliance issues.

Our orthopedic billing specialists master these codes daily. We handle:

  • Fracture care with multiple encounter types
  • Joint replacement procedures and revisions
  • Arthroscopic surgeries with multiple modifiers
  • Spine surgeries require precise documentation
  • Sports medicine injections and infusions

High-Stakes Denial Management

Orthopedic claims face denial rates averaging 15-20% nationally. That's thousands of dollars stuck in appeals. Common culprits include:

  • Modifier 25 denials on evaluation visits
  • Medical necessity documentation gaps
  • Bundling errors with surgical procedures
  • Prior authorization delays for implants
  • Incorrect global period billing

Our denial management process achieves a 95% overturn rate of appeals. We don't just fix denials—we prevent them.

Multi-System Billing Complexity

Orthopedic surgery centers operate differently from office practices. You might bill through an ASC, hospital, and private office simultaneously. Each setting has unique rules for clean claims submission and reimbursement optimization.
