Our Dallas-focused orthopedic denial team maintains a denial rate under 3% by resolving root causes — including surgical coding disputes and medical necessity appeals — not just resubmitting rejected claims. ### What CPT codes does MedVoice handle for orthopedics billing? MedVoice handles the full orthopedic CPT range, including joint replacement (27130, 27447, 27487), knee and shoulder arthroscopy (29827, 29881, 29882), fracture care (25600–27752), spinal surgery (22558, 22612), hand and wrist procedures (26055, 64721), and E/M codes (99202–99215). Our certified orthopedic coders apply correct modifiers, global period documentation, and NCCI-compliant code combinations for every procedure. ### Is MedVoice’s orthopedics billing service HIPAA compliant? Yes — MedVoice operates fully HIPAA-compliant billing systems with encrypted transmission of orthopedic patient records, operative reports, and imaging documentation, role-based access controls, and signed Business Associate Agreements (BAAs) for every practice we serve. Our compliance framework meets the HIPAA Security Rule’s administrative, physical, and technical safeguard requirements, with audit logs maintained for all PHI access. ### How quickly can a Dallas orthopedic practice onboard and outsource billing to MedVoice? Most Dallas orthopedic practices complete the MedVoice onboarding process in 5–10 business days, including EHR integration with surgical charge capture workflows, payer credentialing review, global period tracking setup, and workers' compensation billing configuration. Our onboarding team handles the full transition with zero interruption to your billing cycle, and you’ll be assigned a dedicated orthopedic billing specialist from day one. ### What makes orthopedics medical billing more complex than general billing? Orthopedics billing combines high-value surgical CPT codes with strict CMS global period rules, NCCI bundling edits for same-session procedures, modifier requirements for multiple surgeries, and prior authorization protocols for joint replacement and spinal surgery — all while managing separate billing tracks for workers' compensation claims under Texas DWC rules. Implant charge capture, ASC vs. hospital POS accuracy, and fracture care code specificity add further complexity that general billing teams in Dallas are typically not equipped to handle without specialty expertise. ## Request a Free Orthopedics Billing Audit Today MedVoice’s free orthopedics billing audit delivers a comprehensive review of your surgical CPT coding accuracy, global period compliance, denial patterns, and revenue recovery opportunities — with no obligation.
