Thoracic Surgery Billing Problems We Help You Overcome
Denied High-Value Surgical Claims
Even one rejected claim for a surgical procedure can be the cause of a substantial balance. We examine the reasons for rejection and work on getting appeals accepted.
Missing or Incorrect Surgical Modifiers
The use of modifier mistakes could lead to claim rejections and billing discrepancies. We examine the operative notes and insurance guidelines before assigning modifiers.
Global Period Billing Conflicts
Errors in billing for postoperative care may affect reimbursement. We look at claims under the global period to identify services needing further information.
Incomplete Operative Documentation
Missing procedure information can cause delays in your claim being processed. We will identify any missing documents and coordinate the clarification process with your practice.
Delayed Insurance Reimbursements
Claims for surgical procedures should not stay open for months on end. We monitor open claims, follow up on payer delays, and stay consistent.
