HealthCell handles billing for laparoscopic and open abdominal surgeries, hernia repairs, cholecystectomies, appendectomies, colon resections, breast surgeries, and wound care procedures. Our billers are trained on surgical CPT coding, operative report documentation requirements, and global period rules. We also manage billing for minimally invasive and robotic-assisted surgical procedures as these become the standard of care in general surgery.
Most general surgery procedures carry 90-day global periods. HealthCell manages global period tracking, identifies separately billable post-operative services, and ensures your practice correctly bills for complications, staged procedures, and unrelated visits during the global window. Our tracking system flags each patient’s global status at the point of scheduling so front desk and billing staff are always aligned.
Yes. We handle billing for hospital inpatient, outpatient surgery center (ASC), and office-based procedures. HealthCell ensures the correct place of service codes and facility agreements are applied, capturing full reimbursement across all settings. We also support surgeons who operate at multiple facilities, managing credentialing and enrollment to prevent billing disruptions as your practice expands.
Surgery claims are frequently denied for missing operative notes, incorrect assistant surgeon coding, bundling conflicts, and global period violations. HealthCell’s pre-submission audits and denial management team are specifically trained to resolve these issues quickly. We also track payer-specific medical necessity criteria for elective procedures to ensure your documentation supports approval before surgery is scheduled.

We bill correctly for assistant surgeons (modifier -80, -81, -82) and co-surgeons (modifier -62), ensuring each provider receives accurate reimbursement while maintaining compliance with payer policies on surgical team billing. We also manage credentialing for surgical assistants and first assistants to ensure they are enrolled with all relevant payers before procedures are performed.
