What’s the biggest reimbursement risk in general surgery billing? It’s usually the global period — procedures bundled into a 90-day window where follow-up visits, minor complications, and related services aren’t separately billable, but exceptions absolutely exist if documented correctly. Miss those exceptions and a practice leaves real money on the table. General surgery billing and coding services require coders who are well-versed in the timing for when a modifier such as the 24 modifier or 78 modifier is used and when not. An efficient surgical coding process is based on capturing these differences rather than what is the easiest read on each claim.
