Orthopedic Billing Services & Practice Management

Global Health Management Services provides expert Orthopedic Medical Billing and Practice Management Services to help navigate the new Medicare and Medicaid bundled payment rules and regulations along with establishing the necessary hospital partnerships for maximum allowable reimbursement for your Orthopedic Practice.

In November 2015, CMS Medicare and Medicaid billing and reimbursement requirements for Orthopedic procedures changed dramatically, shifting many Orthopedic practices from a fee-for-service to a new bundled payment model for hip and knee replacement surgery in acute-care hospitals, as well as many other Orthopedic procedures. The CJR model’s goal is to give hospitals a financial incentive to work with physicians, home health agencies, skilled nursing facilities and other providers, promoting coordinated care.

While these new regulations may seem extremely overwhelming for many Orthopedic practices, with a careful planning and practice analysis, it is entirely possible to manage a very successful medical practice under the new bundled payments model.

Orthopedic Contract Negotiation

Payer contract negotiations, evaluation and renegotiations is very critical to every Orthopedic practice, yet many practices only set up their managed contracts one time and allow them to automatically renew without any negotiations.
