General Surgery, Billed by People Who Know the Codes
The billing problem in general surgery
General surgery billing is dominated by global periods. Ninety days of follow-up care is bundled into one code, so anything billed inside that window without the right modifier is denied. Emergency cases, assistant surgeons, and complications all need different handling.
- Global surgical periods bundle 90 days of care into one code
- Assistant-at-surgery claims are denied without the right modifier
- Emergency vs elective coding changes the whole claim
Codes we work with
44970 (appendectomy), 47562 (laparoscopic cholecystectomy), 44120 (bowel resection), 49505 (hernia repair)
What we handle for general surgery practices
- Global period tracking, so follow-ups are billed only when they are billable
- Assistant surgeon and modifier coding, done per payer rules
- Emergency and complication coding, matched to the operative report
