Orthopedics

One pain point that all orthopedic practices face is backend billing. The practice could be doing all that it can to treat patients and create a sustainable process flow. However, if the bills are not being reimbursed correctly, then the practice will not be able to survive. Orthopedics involves diagnosis, treatment, and surgical corrections of the entire muscular system. These doctors deal with physical trauma, degenerative and spine diseases and infections, injuries, and congenital disorders every day.

Research shows that an average orthopedic practitioner works up to 70 hours a week. These practitioners already struggle with excessive workload and physician burnout that they definitely don’t have the time to handle billing and reimbursement struggles. Did you know that using the wrong codes and modifiers and not having the documentation right are two major reasons claims get rejected?

You can prevent these from happening by working with an experienced Orthopedic billing service provider like Firstsource. We partner with our clients and ensure the RCM processes are tweaked right to provide long-term results. About 70% of our clients still work on a contingency-based model with us.
