Overview

Revenue cycle management for orthopedics

Orthopedic billing is among the most detail-intensive in medicine, spanning global surgical packages, fracture care, injections, and durable medical equipment. ClaimSphere RCM combines certified orthopedic coders with disciplined documentation review to ensure every session, procedure, and supply is captured and coded correctly.

From arthroscopy and joint replacement to spine and sports medicine, we manage prior authorizations, global periods, and the modifier sequences that determine whether claims are paid in full. Our approach reduces denials, accelerates cash flow, and lets your surgeons focus on the operating room instead of the billing office.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you manage global surgical periods for orthopedic procedures?

We track each procedure's global period and apply the correct modifiers to distinguish unrelated visits, staged procedures, and returns to the operating room. This ensures you are paid for services outside the global package rather than having them incorrectly bundled.

Can you handle prior authorizations for surgeries and imaging?

Yes. Our team secures authorizations for MRIs, surgical procedures, and durable medical equipment before services are rendered. Proactive authorization is one of the most effective ways to prevent the denials that plague orthopedic practices.

Do you bill for durable medical equipment dispensed in the office?

We do. Braces, splints, and other DME supplied in your office are coded with the appropriate HCPCS codes and modifiers. We also verify coverage in advance so these items are reimbursed rather than written off.
