Billing for general surgery is not general billing with a different code set. Global surgical packages plus modifiers for staged, related, and unrelated procedures during the post-operative period.
Assistant-at-surgery and co-surgeon rules change payment substantially and are among the most reviewed elements in the specialty.

How we work it
We code from what your record documents and query you when it does not support a code, which in general surgery is where most of the avoidable exposure sits.
Denials are worked by cause rather than in queue order, so the same failure stops recurring instead of being re-worked every month.
We work the claims. You practice medicine.
Coding, claim submission, denial management, and A/R follow-up — with nothing left for your front desk to chase.

General Surgery — Frequently Asked Questions
Do you have coders who know general surgery?
+
Yes. All coding is performed by certified coders, and specialty assignment is deliberate — global surgical packages plus modifiers for staged, related, and unrelated procedures during the post-operative period.
Do you guarantee we will collect more?
+
No, and nobody honestly can. Payment is decided by the payer. What we commit to is the process and the six numbers we report, which you can check against your own system.
