Specialized Neurosurgery Billing Services

Accurate coding is the backbone of successful neurosurgery medical billing. Our certified coders (AAPC CPC and COSC) specialize in the full spectrum of cranial and spinal procedures, maintaining compliance with CMS and payer requirements while maximizing reimbursements.

Cranial Surgery Billing

CPT 61304–61790

We tackle complex codes, such as CPT 61304–61790, which cover critical neurosurgical procedures. Our specialists validate documentation, apply modifiers correctly, and keep billing in step with the 2026 CMS Medicare Physician Fee Schedule.

Spinal Surgery Billing

CPT 63020–63047 & 22840–22849

From decompressions (CPT 63020–63047) to spinal fusions and instrumentation (CPT 22840–22849), we deliver reliable brain and spine surgery billing that captures multiple levels, prevents under-coding, and safeguards compliance with payer rules.

Implant & Device Billing

Fusion Hardware · Neurostimulators

Implants and devices such as fusion hardware, aneurysm clips, and neurostimulators require meticulous charge capture. Our neurosurgery coding and billing experts utilize integrated systems, including Epic OpTime, Cerner SurgiNet, and Medtronic platforms, track devices, and minimize denials.

Global Period Billing Neurosurgery & Modifier Compliance

0 / 10 / 90-Day Global Periods

The 90-day global surgery period is a high-denial risk area. Dastify ensures:

Accurate global period application for cranial & spinal procedures (0/10/90-day)
Correct modifier usage: -24, -79, co-surgeon (-62), assistant surgeon (-80/-AS)
Payer-specific documentation management

Inpatient vs. Outpatient Billing

DRG · 837I · 837P

We handle the differences between DRG-based hospital neurosurgery billing solutions and professional fee billing, ensuring the correct use of modifiers, compliance with the inpatient-only list, and adherence to payer-specific requirements.

Prior Authorization & Appeals

High-value neurosurgical procedures often face delays in payer approvals. Our specialists manage prior authorization for neurosurgery procedures, track approvals in real-time, and handle appeals to ensure reimbursements are on schedule.
