GENERAL SURGERY
General surgery is a surgical specialty that focuses on operating on the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, liver, pancreas, gallbladder, appendix, and bile ducts thyroid gland. General Surgery billing & coding requires billers and coders to be proficient in the codes and terminologies used in the specialty.
General surgeons display a humongous amount of expertise by handling surgeries ranging from hernia repair to bariatric surgery. They also perform open surgeries and minimally invasive surgeries facilitated by robots. However, the evolution of top-notch technology that enables general surgeons to perform advanced surgeries also demands that they constantly learn and upgrade to stay on track—leaving no or a negligible amount of time for general surgeons to focus on medical bills and reimbursements.
Although general surgeons, hospitals, surgical clinics, or diagnostic partners who choose to partner with RCM companies see certain improvements in their revenue, they still face improper coding or lack of follow-up. Billing & coding for general surgery requires the staff to be proficient in using global surgical packages, use modifiers for same-day procedures, and roles of surgeons. The billing & coding team should additionally document unlisted procedures, as incorrect documentation leads to lower reimbursements.
