Where Orthopedic Practices Lose Revenue
Global Surgery Period Management
Most orthopedic procedures carry a 90-day global period. Services during that window are bundled with the surgery fee — but complications, unrelated conditions, and staged procedures can be billed separately with the right modifiers.
Fracture Care Coding
Fracture care codes (e.g., 27750–27759 for tibial shaft fractures) bundle all subsequent care into the initial code. Practices that also bill ER visits, cast changes, or follow-ups during the global period create duplicate billing — or miss legitimate separately billable services.
Joint Injection and Aspiration
Intra-articular injections (20600–20611) and arthrocentesis have specific coding based on joint size and whether imaging guidance is used. The guidance component (77002, 76942) is frequently missed or under-documented.
Surgical Implants and Supply Billing
Orthopedic implants — screws, plates, joint components — are separately billable in some payer contracts and bundled in others. Understanding each payer's carve-out rules is the difference between recovering or writing off implant costs.
