Preoperative Compliance & Documentation Clearance
Prior to surgical procedures, we perform pre-surgical compliance checks and obtain necessary pre-surgical approvals related to all procedures, diagnostic testing, anaesthetic, and imaging. Since we complete documentation compliance checks with the payer before the surgical date, we can mitigate authorisation delays and denials.

Automatic checks for identifying coding mismatches, bundling errors, and modifier inconsistencies are incorporated into the electronic transmission process prior to the claims being sent to the payer.

How Our General Surgery Billing Process Works
Our workflow for revenue cycle management for surgeons is structured, predictable, and tailored to surgical care. General surgery billing that is outsourced will be more efficient when all the steps are involved such as the patient intake to the reimbursement are done accurately.
Check Benefits & Verify Before the Visit
Before the surgery date, we check to make sure that the patient has insurance, is eligible for surgery, knows the requirements for going out of network, and has pre-certification.
Approval Coordination for Surgery & Imaging
Our experts liaise with all primary and secondary payers to ensure that prior authorisation for the surgical procedure and all related imaging studies are arranged. We make sure that all of the paperwork for surgeries is complete, up to date, and meets all insurance coverage standards.
Analysis of the Operative Report
Coders read through operating notes line-by-line to record the details of the procedure, incision locations, imaging guidance and the complexity of the surgery.
Real-Time Rejection Monitoring
Any reimbursement cycle delays in the first stage are avoided by ensuring that any clearinghouse rejection is corrected realtime.
Optimizing Surgical Claims without Making Mistakes
Before they are sent to the payer, all surgical claims go through a final review to make sure they meet the payer's requirements and are accurate and of good quality. Focusing on the optimisation of surgical claims increases the likelihood that the claim will be approved on the first submission, thereby reducing the cost of rework.
Advanced Modifier Application & Global Period Coding
We use all the right modifiers (CPT, ICD-10, and Modifiers 59, 51, 25, RT/LT, and Bilateral) all over the world to make sure that the scope of the surgery and the value of related services are shown correctly.
Help With Appeals & Getting Back On Track
If a claim is turned down, we will take care of the changes that need to be made so that it can be sent again. We will submit the essential evidence to demonstrate medical necessity, as well as complete all coder clarifications, and prepare formal appeals to ensure that income is recovered swiftly.
Following up with Payers & Maximizing Revenue Recovery
The Accounts Receivable (AR) team will focus on following up with primary and secondary payers on claims that are more than 30 days old. The AR team will keep an eye on all unpaid bills to make sure that no chances to get money back have been overlooked.
Automated posting of ERA & checks for financial accuracy
Automated ERA workflows keep track of payments from payers to providers, and all payments are checked against the provider's contract. Any differences, errors, or underpayments will be found and fixed quickly.
Reporting & Financial Insights for Surgeons
Monthly reports provide information on collections, denial reasons, reimbursement schedules, and coding precision to improve.
