HealthNoVa delivers tailored revenue cycle management to eliminate claim denials, streamline surgical claims, and maximize your practice’s reimbursements.

Result-Oriented Orthopedic Billing Services

Eligibility & Benefit Verification

We verify patient coverage and fast-track prior authorizations for MRIs, joint replacements, and arthroscopic procedures well before surgery.

Surgical & Operative Coding

Our certified coders meticulously review operative reports to ensure accurate CPT coding for multi-procedural surgeries and global care.

Modifier Precision & Unbundling Prevention

We accurately apply modifiers 25, 50, 51, 59, and anatomical modifiers to prevent improper bundling edits and claim rejections.

DMEPOS & Injection Billing

We manage billing for orthotics, braces, casting, and joint injections (J-codes), ensuring full reimbursement for equipment and specialty drugs.

Strategic Denial & Appeal

We immediately analyze surgical claim rejections, filing robust appeals backed by clinical notes to recover unpaid surgical revenue.

Patient Balance Collections

We issue clear, transparent statements for surgical deductibles and co-insurance, offering flexible payment management for patients.

Orthopedic Billing Services

Orthopedic practices manage some of the highest-value and most complex coding workflows in healthcare. From multi-procedural surgical cases and global post-operative care windows to billing for Durable Medical Equipment (DME) and in-office joint injections, any coding oversight can result in massive financial leakage. Navigating strict payer rules for prior authorizations and NCCI bundling edits places an immense burden on internal billing staff.

The Challenges You Face Managing Orthopedic Insurance Billing

Orthopedists face unique obstacles, including strict 10- and 90-day global surgical periods, complex DME billing regulations, and delayed prior authorizations. We step in with specialized financial operations to optimize your practice.

We apply up-to-date CPT, ICD-10, and HCPCS coding standards strictly tailored for orthopedic and sports medicine practices.

We automate billing workflows for routine follow-ups, X-rays, and physical therapy referrals to speed up payouts.

Our specialists work directly inside your preferred orthopedic EHR software without disrupting your daily clinical rounds.

We aggressively track down underpaid surgical claims and aged patient balances to capture every dollar earned.

How do you manage global surgical periods (10-day and 90-day global packages)?

We carefully track global surgical windows to ensure routine post-operative visits are billed appropriately within the package. When an unrelated service, staged procedure, or major decision for surgery occurs within the global period, our certified coders apply the proper modifiers (such as 24, 58, 78, or 79) to ensure full reimbursement without triggering denials.

Can you handle billing for Durable Medical Equipment (DME) and in-office joint injections?

Yes. Billing for DME (braces, splints, crutches) and viscosupplementation/steroid injections requires accurate HCPCS coding, proper J-codes for medications, and proof of medical necessity. We manage the entire process, including verifying DME coverage and billing exact units, ensuring you recover all supply costs.

How do you ensure accuracy when coding complex operative notes for multi-procedural surgeries?

Our certified orthopedic coders meticulously review the full operative narrative - not just the surgeon's brief summary. We identify each distinct procedure, verify approach and instrumentation, and apply NCCI bundling edits and anatomical modifiers (such as RT, LT, FA, TA) to maximize first-pass claim acceptance.
