Surgical Billing is Complex.
We Make It Profitable.

General surgery faces relentless scrutiny regarding global periods, laparoscopy conversions, and complex NCCI bundling. Hover over the common challenges below to see how HBS secures your revenue.

Global Period Violations

Most major surgeries carry a 90-day global period. Billing an E&M for an unrelated issue, or returning to the OR for complications during this window triggers automatic denials without precise modifiers.
Hover for Solution

The HBS Solution

We deploy automated global-period tracking. Our coders expertly apply Modifiers 24 (unrelated E&M), 58 (staged), 78 (return to OR), and 79 (unrelated procedure) to legally capture revenue.

Surgical Bundling (NCCI)

Payers aggressively bundle distinct surgical maneuvers. For example, billing an extensive lysis of adhesions is often wrongfully absorbed into the primary surgical CPT.
Hover for Solution

The HBS Solution

We scrub every operative report against real-time NCCI tables. We ethically unbundle distinct procedures using Modifier 59 (Distinct Service) or 51 (Multiple Procedures) to secure full payment.

Lap-to-Open Conversions

When a surgeon begins a procedure laparoscopically but must convert to an open surgery, billing for both the diagnostic lap and the open procedure leads to immediate audits.
Hover for Solution

The HBS Solution

Our surgical coders strictly follow CMS guidelines, billing only the open procedure. However, if the laparoscopic work was extensive and distinct, we append Modifier 22 to capture increased procedural complexity.

The HBS Surgical Advantage

We don’t just process claims; we function as a dedicated extension of your operative team. From capturing unbilled add-on codes to fiercely defending against NCCI bundling, we transform your revenue cycle into a predictable asset.
