General Surgery Billing Services for Higher Reimbursements
Surgical practices face some of the most complex billing challenges in healthcare. Between multiple procedures performed in one session, strict global period rules, and payer-specific policies, even a small coding error can lead to thousands in lost revenue.
That’s why outsourcing to experts in General Surgery Billing Services makes a difference. At The Ashez Group, we specialize in helping surgical practices capture every allowable reimbursement, reduce denials, and stay compliant with CMS and payer guidelines.
Why General Surgery Billing Is Especially Complex
Unlike general medical billing, surgical billing involves:
Multiple procedure coding – Surgeons often perform primary and secondary procedures in one operation (e.g., hernia repair with mesh). Each requires precise coding and modifier use.
Global surgical periods – Postoperative care for 0-, 10-, or 90-day windows must be coded properly with modifiers like 24, 58, or 78. Mistakes here cause denials.
Bundling edits (NCCI rules) – Certain codes cannot be billed together without documentation.
Medical necessity requirements – Payers demand detailed notes supporting procedures.
High volume & complexity – Busy surgical centers generate large numbers of claims that require tight turnaround.
As ncbi.nlm.nih.gov explains, failing to manage global surgical periods correctly is one of the top reasons claims are denied in surgery practices.
The Top 3 General Surgery Billing Services We Provide
Surgical Coding & Claims Scrubbing
Our certified coders specialize in CPT and ICD-10 codes specific to general surgery. We review each claim line by line, confirm correct modifiers, check for bundling conflicts, and ensure documentation supports medical necessity. This proactive step increases first-pass acceptance rates and minimizes rejections.
Denial Management & Appeals
Denials are inevitable in surgical billing, but losing revenue doesn’t have to be. Our denial management experts analyze root causes, correct coding or documentation gaps, and resubmit clean claims. We also file structured appeals when necessary—recovering revenue many practices leave behind.
Global Period & A/R Recovery Support
Billing within postoperative periods is one of the trickiest areas for surgeons. We ensure appropriate modifier use and help practices avoid underbilling or compliance risks. In addition, our Accounts Receivable (A/R) team aggressively follows up on unpaid surgical claims, reducing days in A/R and improving cash flow.
