Surgery billing is a timeline
Orthopedic claims span pre-op, surgery day, implants, and post-op visits inside global periods.
Billers and schedulers must share one view of which encounters are globally bundled.
Implants and modifiers
Capture implant details accurately — missing tray or device lines create underpayments that look like “paid in full.”
Use modifiers correctly for staged procedures, bilateral work, and unrelated E/Ms in the global window.
Educate the clinic
A one-page global-period cheat sheet at the front desk prevents many accidental write-offs.
