Orthopedics & Spine
Orthopedic billing that keeps up with your surgery schedule
Orthopedic and spine practices bill a mix of office visits, imaging, injections, procedures and surgeries, often with prior authorization. Optimus checks each claim against that mix and chases what is denied. Billing starts at 2.9%* of collections.
Where orthopedics billing gets difficult
What your biller needs to get right
- 01
Surgical global periods
Surgeries carry a global period of 0, 10 or 90 days during which related follow-up visits are bundled. Billing a bundled visit by mistake is a common denial.
- 02
Prior authorization
Imaging, injections and procedures often need approval before the service. A missed authorization is lost revenue.
- 03
In-office supplies and DME
Braces and supplies dispensed in the office have their own coding and documentation needs.
Orthopedics practices pay the same way as every Optimus client: billing from 2.9%* of collections, set by your monthly collections, providers and locations. See pricing page or how our medical billing service works.
