Orthopedics billing & credentialing

Global periods, fracture care, injections and DME: orthopedic billing is a modifier minefield. We navigate it so surgeries pay in full and nothing bundles away.

Why orthopedics is different

Orthopedics has the messiest global-period and bundling rules in medicine, and a single missed laterality or staged-procedure modifier turns a paid surgery into a denial.

We handle global periods, staged and bilateral procedures, fracture care, joint and trigger-point injections, casting and splinting supplies, and assistant-surgeon billing, with the RT/LT, 50, 58, 59 and 78/79 modifiers each claim actually needs.

What our orthopedics billing covers

  • Surgical claims with correct global-period and staged-procedure modifiers
  • Fracture care (open & closed) billed to the right global package
  • Joint, trigger-point and image-guided injections (e.g., 20610)
  • Casting, splinting and DME supplies captured with Q/L codes
  • Bilateral & multiple procedures with modifier 50/51/59 and RT/LT
  • Assistant-surgeon and co-surgeon claims filed and appealed

Credentialing for orthopedics

Orthopedic enrollment often means hospital and ASC privileges alongside payer paneling. We manage both.

  • Medicare (PECOS) & Medicaid enrollment for every provider
  • Commercial payer paneling matched to your patient mix
  • CAQH build, attestation & ongoing maintenance
  • Revalidations and re-credentialing tracked before they lapse
  • Hospital and ambulatory surgery center (ASC) privileging support
  • Enrollment for every surgeon, PA and NP who bills under your group
