Orthopedic Billing & Coding Services: Ensuring Compliance and Profitability
Orthopedic practices face unique challenges in medical billing and coding due to complex procedures, multiple modifiers, and ever-changing payer rules. Even a small error in documentation or code selection can lead to denied claims, compliance issues, and lost revenue.
At Everest A/R Management Group Inc, we understand the intricate nature of orthopedic billing and coding. Our specialized team ensures accuracy, compliance, and profitability — helping orthopedic practices focus on patient care while we optimize their revenue cycle.
Understanding Orthopedic Billing & Coding
Orthopedic billing requires deep expertise in CPT, ICD-10, and HCPCS coding systems. Every fracture repair, joint replacement, or spinal procedure must be coded correctly for full reimbursement.
Some of the most common orthopedic CPT codes include:
29880 – Arthroscopy, knee, surgical; with meniscectomy
27130 – Total hip arthroplasty (hip replacement)
27447 – Total knee arthroplasty
23430 – Tenodesis of long tendon of biceps
20610 – Arthrocentesis, major joint or bursa
Our certified coders at Everest A/R Management Group Inc ensure each procedure is documented, coded, and submitted accurately — minimizing denials and maximizing revenue.
Why Orthopedic Billing Is Complex
Orthopedic billing goes beyond routine claim submissions. It involves:
Multiple procedures performed in one session
Frequent use of surgical assistants and implants
Complicated modifier usage (like 50, 59, 76, 78, etc.)
Workers’ compensation and accident-related claims
Varying payer requirements and regulations
Without expert billing oversight, these complexities can easily lead to underpayments, compliance risks, or delayed reimbursements.
