The unique dual-payer dominance in Western Pennsylvania requires highly customized revenue cycle workflows tailored specifically to UPMC and Highmark guidelines. We provide specialized legacy accounts receivable liquidation tailored for Orthopedics practices dealing with UPMC Health Plan and Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield.
Orthopedic surgical groups in Pittsburgh require rigorous revenue cycle workflows to capture high-complexity reimbursement across surgical package coding and 90-day global fee recovery for total knee arthroplasty (TKA) encounters, payer contract adjudication and implant cost invoice reconciliation for total hip arthroplasty (THA) claims, and NCCI procedure-to-procedure bundling resolution for arthroscopic meniscectomy and ligament repair encounters. Reimbursing these encounters in full requires adhering to orthopedic global surgical periods and NCCI procedure-to-procedure (PTP) edits, tracking CPT 27447, 27130, 29881, 20610, 29827, 27244, 20680, and applying Modifier 59, Modifier XS, Modifier 51, Modifier 22, Modifier 54, Modifier 55, Modifier LT/RT to exempt distinct anatomical encounters from NCCI procedure-to-procedure bundling. Documentation must satisfy 90-day major global surgical period bundling audits, CMS NCCI procedure-to-procedure edit bypass validations, implant invoice attachment compliance, and co-surgeon vs. assistant surgeon (-80/-82) clinical justifications. Our specialized aging accounts recovery service audits stagnant, aged insurance balances past 90, 120, and 180 days. We extract electronic proof-of-timely-filing (EDI 277CA/999 records), bypass 180-day timely filing boundaries barriers, and submit structured administrative appeals to unlock trapped clinical revenue.
