General Surgery Billing Services: Recover Lost Revenue Other Billers Miss
General surgery billing is where revenue is most often lost, not because the work isn’t done, but because claims aren’t handled correctly. Missed procedure codes and repeated denials quietly cut into surgeon income every month.
At East Billing, our general surgery billing services are designed to recover revenue that other billers miss. We audit every claim and actively manage denials and follow-ups, so your procedures are reimbursed fully, on time, and without constant billing headaches.
Why General Surgery Billing Often Fails & How to Fix It
Surgeons often miss critical steps in general surgery coding and billing, leading to rejected claims, delayed payments, and hidden lost income. These issues happen because surgical billing is unique: each procedure can involve multiple CPT codes, modifiers, and bundled services, while insurers constantly update rules and documentation requirements. A single missed modifier, miscoded procedure, or untracked post-op visit can cost your practice $5,000–$15,000 per month.
- 30-40% claim denials due to incorrect CPT coding
- 20-25% underpayments from missed modifiers or bundled services
- Delays of 45+ days in reimbursements from insurance follow-ups
- Revenue loss from unbilled procedures, often hidden in complex surgical cases
- Administrative burden consuming 10+ hours per week from clinical staff
These problems aren’t your fault; they happen because surgical billing is highly specialized. At East Billing, we handle the full scope of general surgery billing, ensuring accuracy, compliance, and faster reimbursements. Our medical billing for general surgeons solutions recover lost revenue, streamline operations, and give your practice the financial clarity it deserves.
