Neurosurgery Billing Services
Precise Coding, Faster Payments, Zero Guesswork
Neurosurgery is high-stakes medicine: complex procedures, device implants, time-sensitive interventions, and extensive documentation. Your team’s priority is patient care and clinical outcomes not wrestling with claim edits, denials, or payer policy gymnastics. At Sirius Solutions Global we specialize in neurosurgery billing and revenue cycle management (RCM) for spine and brain practices, surgical centers, and hospital departments. We take on the complexity, navigate payer rules, and recover revenue with surgical precision so your team can do what it does best: deliver excellent care.
Our Neurosurgery Billing Services
We build a custom program for your practice, whether you’re a single-surgeon clinic, multi-surgeon group, ASC, or hospital neurosurgery department.
Pre-Service & Eligibility

Insurance verification, benefits checks, medical necessity flags, authorization tracking for elective spine and cranial cases.
-
Pre-op financial counseling scripts for collectors to set expectations (co-pays, deductibles, implant costs).
Charge Capture & Coding

-
Professional claims coding for surgeon, assistant, co-surgery, and global period management.
Claim Scrubbing & Submission
-
Multi-layer scrub: automated edits + manual neuro-specialist review to prevent payer rejections.
-
Separate tracks for inpatient, outpatient, and ASC billing flows.
Implant & Device Management

The neurosurgery billing reality why specialty billing matters
Neurosurgery billing isn’t just “hospital billing with fancier codes.” It’s a distinct discipline that requires:
-
Mastery of high-value CPT and HCPCS codes (spinal fusion approaches, craniotomy, stereotactic procedures, instrumentation, neurostimulation, CPT modifiers, device/G-host coding).
-
Understanding of implant/device reporting, passthroughs, and manufacturer relationships.
-
Coordination across inpatient, outpatient, ASC, and professional claims each with different rules and revenue levers.
-
Fast, accurate charge capture around OR time, anesthesia, supplies, and post-operative care notes.
-
Expert management of preauthorization for elective spine surgeries, bundled payments, global periods, and payer edits.
A generic billing team makes costly mistakes: miscoded instrumentation, missed device pass-through billing, or incorrect global period handling. Specialists spot these losses immediately and stop them increasing net collections and reducing audit risk.

The biggest neurosurgery billing problems
These are the real leaky pipes we fix:
Problem: Implant and device under-capture
Why it matters: Implants are high-value items; missing them costs thousands per case.
Sirius approach: End-to-end implant workflow OR charge capture, UDI reconciliation, manufacturer invoice matching, and payer coding that supports pass-through status when eligible.
Problem: Incorrect modifiers / co-surgery miscoding
Why it matters: Wrong modifier use (e.g., modifier 62 vs assistant) creates claim denials and underpayments.
Sirius approach: Neurosurgery coders apply correct modifiers, document rationale, and audit use monthly to eliminate recurring errors.
Problem: Global period & postoperative services confusion
Why it matters: Missing or double-billing during the global period triggers denials and audits.
Sirius approach: We map each CPT to its global period, flag global period encounters, and ensure post-op visits are billed correctly (or bundled properly).
Problem: Complex payer rules & authorization failures
Why it matters: Elective spine and deep brain procedures often require prior authorization; missing one can mean massive write-offs.
Sirius approach: We verify benefits during scheduling, push preauthorization queues, and store approvals in patient records to protect revenue.
Problem: Neuro-specific documentation insufficiencies
Why it matters: Payers deny when operative notes or medical necessity aren’t solid.
Sirius approach: Documentation templates, surgeon-friendly checklist items, and chart auditors who provide corrective coaching.
Problem: Mixed settings (inpatient vs ASC vs office)
Why it matters: Billing rules change with location of service — same CPT billed differently.
Sirius approach: Separate tracks ensure claims are coded and submitted with location-appropriate rules and place-of-service codes.
Realistic timeline what to expect after onboarding
-
Week 1–2: Intake & audit. We’ll run a claims audit and deliver a “Revenue Opportunity Report” highlighting quick wins (backlog denials, implant misses, payer-specific leaks).
-
Week 3–8: Clean-up phase. Backlog resolution, claim resubmissions, and denial appeals begin to show cash recovery.
-
Month 2–4: Stabilization. A/R trending down, clean claim rate up, and standardized charge capture in place.
-
Month 4+: Optimization. Process improvements, KPI refinement, and measurable ROI.
