#globalperiod

In surgery medical billing services, understanding the concept of global periods is essential for accurate reimbursement. The global period refers to the time frame after a surgical procedure during which related care is considered included in the original procedure’s payment. Misinterpreting global periods can lead to claim denials, underpayments, or compliance issues.

Partnering with an experienced general surgery medical billing company, such as AnnexMed, ensures that all global period rules are applied correctly. Their team of certified coders and billing specialists tracks post-operative visits, pre-authorizations, and documentation requirements to optimize revenue while staying compliant.

Properly managing global periods through professional general surgery billing and coding services not only reduces denials but also improves overall workflow efficiency, allowing surgical practices to focus on patient care.
