General Surgery Billing FAQ's

How do you code abscess incision and drainage (10060)? +

We utilize the documentation provided in the operative notes to confirm the exact location, size, and complexity of the procedure. After this verification, we select the most appropriate CPT code, which not only ensures that the documentation is accurate but also that the medical necessity is clear. This, in turn, lowers the rate of rejected claims.

How do you bill benign skin lesion excisions (10120)? +

We examine lesion size, number, and the anatomical site in detail. Proper documentation is the key to accurate CPT code assignment, thus being a preventive measure against call rejections and ensuring compliance with payer rules.

How do you code partial and total mastectomy (19301, 19303)? +

We carefully go through surgical and pathology documents to decide which CPT code best matches the description of the operation type, extent, and medical necessity.

How do you handle laparoscopic cholecystectomy billing (47562)? +

We review the details of the operation, find if there are any complications, and confirm that the documentation supports the use of the CPT code. This is done in a way that reimbursement is optimized while the practice is still in line with the payer guidelines.

How do you code colectomy with anastomosis (44140)? +

The team goes through the operative notes and details of the procedure to decide which CPT code best reflects partial colectomy, anastomosis, and overall surgical complexity.

How do you bill hernia repairs (49505)? +

We check the age of the patient, type of hernia, and the side. The documentation should be detailed enough to support the CPT code chosen, thus ensuring rightful payment and avoiding refusal of the claim.

How do you align ICD codes with surgery? +

We associate the patient's diagnosis with the surgical procedure that was performed, check the ICD codes selection that supports medical necessity, and that they correspond accurately with CPT codes.

How do you handle multiple procedures? +

We differentially identify procedures with the use of proper modifiers, vividly record each operation, and are payer-friendly to discourage denial of claims for overlapping services.

How do you manage recurring denials? +

We thoroughly examine the rejected claims, pinpoint errors in coding or documentation, make necessary corrections, and forward appeals along with clinical evidence to obtain payment.

How do you optimize reimbursement? +

We take good CPT/ICD pairing as the starting point, also ensure that the documentation is supportive of each service, keep track of payer rules, and submit complete claims to get paid on time and at the full amount due.
