Effective and streamlined coding
Special attention is given to coding so as to make billing error-free. Orthopedic practices may be required to perform numerous clinical activities: non-surgical orthopedics such as physiotherapy, chiropractic, occupational therapy, podiatry, and kinesiology; surgical orthopedics such as hand surgery, shoulder and elbow surgery, total joint reconstruction (arthroplasty), pediatric orthopedics, foot and ankle surgery, spine surgery, musculoskeletal oncology, surgical sports medicine, and orthopedic trauma.
Orthopedic practices lose significant revenue through undercoded surgical procedures, missed implant cost recovery, and incorrectly billed global period services that payers routinely underpay or deny without pushback.
MBC's Revenue Diagnostic evaluates your orthopedic billing at the procedure and payer level — identifying where surgical complexity is being downcoded, which implant claims are being denied and why, and how your AR aging compares against specialty benchmarks. The output is a clear, actionable breakdown of the revenue your orthopedic practice is currently leaving uncollected.
Given the high-cost value of these procedures, it is critical to have them accurately coded so as to avoid being denied or underpaid for coding inaccuracy. Our coders, knowledgeable of the entire coding system, can ensure highest coding accuracy.
