Surgery that targets the esophagus, stomach, small and large intestines, liver, pancreas, gallbladder, colon, bile ducts, thyroid gland, and other organs is known as general surgery. Billers and coders for general surgery must be knowledgeable of the codes and terms used in the field.
General surgeons demonstrate an enormous quantity of expertise by performing procedures like bariatric surgery and hernia repair. They also use robots to assist in slightly invasive and open procedures. However, the advancement of cutting-edge technology that makes it possible for general surgeons to perform sophisticated surgeries also necessitates that they continually learn and update in order to stay on track, leaving no or very little time for general surgeons to concentrate on medical bills and reimbursements.
Even though general surgeons, hospitals, surgical clinics, or diagnostic partners who collaborate with RCM companies experience some revenue improvements, they continue to deal with incorrect coding or a lack of follow-up. The staff must be knowledgeable about using global surgical packages, using modifiers for same-day procedures, and responsibilities of surgeons in order to properly bill and code for general surgery. Unlisted procedures should also be documented by the billing and coding staff because poor documentation results in lower reimbursements.
