Why Outsource Your General Surgery Billing and Coding?
Stop Losing Revenue on Complex Cases

Get Your Valuable Time Back
Outsourcing your billing process frees up countless hours and lets your team manage patient flow and surgical scheduling rather than paperwork.
Fewer Denials, Faster Payments
Nothing hurts cash flow more than a denied claim for a high-value surgical procedure. Our primary goal is submitting clean claims the first time so you get paid faster.

A Billing Process Built for Surgeons
A general surgery practice can face scheduled procedures in an outpatient center one day and urgent cases in a hospital the next. Each setting has different billing rules and requires a different approach.
We build our entire workflow around the specific needs of general surgeons. Our team understands the difference between billing for a trauma case and a scheduled bariatric surgery. We become your dedicated back-office partner and ensure that the billing and coding are as precise as your surgical work.
Clear Reports That Make Sense
You don’t need more spreadsheets; you need clear answers. Our reporting system is designed to be straightforward and give you insights without any clutter. You can quickly see stats like the following:
– Denial trends
– Payment turnaround times per insurer
– The profitability of specific procedures

Frequently Asked Questions
General surgery billing and coding services can help your practice in terms of global period compliance and modifier accuracy, which are two areas where surgical practices consistently lose revenue to denials and takebacks without realizing it. A specialist billing service tracks 90-day global periods systematically and catches operative coding errors before claims are submitted.
The best medical billing company for general surgery practices has certified coders who work directly from operative reports and a demonstrable track record on global period management and assistant surgeon billing. PMN is an example of this, who serve solo surgeons and surgical groups with a denial rate under 0.02%.
Outsourcing general surgery billing and revenue cycle management typically costs between 5% and 10% of collections. Specialized services like PMN offer rates starting at 3%, with no setup fees and free payer contract negotiations – covering operative coding and denial resolution as part of the standard service.
Most general surgery billing companies specialize in surgical modifiers and the 90-day global surgical package, but not all do. Make sure you verify that any vendor you evaluate has a defined process for tracking which services fall inside versus outside the 90-day global package – and that they can demonstrate how modifier decisions are documented
