Got Questions About Thoracic Surgery Billing?

We’re here to help simplify the complexities of thoracic billing and help your team stay focused on surgical care.

– What is thoracic surgery medical billing?

Thoracic surgery medical billing is the process of coding, submitting, and managing claims for chest procedures, including video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery, lung resection, mediastinal and diaphragmatic procedures, and related postoperative care.

+ Why is thoracic surgery billing frequently underpaid?

Underpayment usually comes from unclaimed co-surgeon or assistant roles, modifier 22 requests submitted without supporting documentation, and separately payable postoperative services absorbed into the global package.

+ What does the 90 day global period include?

The global package covers the procedure and routine postoperative care within the period. Unrelated services, staged procedures, and returns to the operating room can be billed separately with modifiers such as 78 and 79.

+ How do you bill co-surgeon and assistant at surgery claims?

We confirm each surgeon role is documented in the operative report, verify payer eligibility for the specific code, and submit with modifier 62 for co-surgeons or 80, 81, 82, or AS for assistants.

+ Why outsource thoracic surgery billing to DoctorPapers?

Outsourcing thoracic surgery billing to DoctorPapers gives groups a team that reads operative reports carefully, captures every supported modifier, manages global periods, and appeals high-value denials.
