General Surgery PM & RCM Software

The Leading Practice Management and RCM Billing Software for General Surgery

Protect surgical revenue with global period tracking, modifier logic, and authorization control from consult to post-op. See why general surgery practices choose Unlimited Systems for practice management and RCM software.

Why General Surgery billing is different

General surgery revenue depends on getting the global surgical package right. Visits during a global period are not separately payable unless they meet specific exceptions, and every exception needs the correct modifier. Miss one and the payer bundles legitimate work; overuse one and you invite audits.

A general surgery practice splits its time between office consults, elective procedures, and emergency cases at one or more hospitals. The same patient may have a decision-for-surgery visit, a procedure with an assistant surgeon, an unrelated problem during the global period, and a return to the operating room, each needing different handling.

The cost of generic billing

You went into general surgery to treat patients, not to chase claims

These are the places general surgery practices most often lose revenue when their billing platform wasn’t built for the work. Unlimited Systems closes each one with rules configured for your specialty.

Review your workflow

Common general surgery revenue leaks

  • Decision-for-surgery visits billed without modifier 57 on major procedures, or with modifier 25 on minor ones, and bundled into the global package.
  • Unrelated visits and procedures during a 10- or 90-day global period billed without modifiers 24, 79, 78, or 58, and denied as included in the global package.
  • Assistant surgeon and co-surgeon services billed with the wrong modifier or for procedures where the payer does not allow them.
  • Hospital charges captured late or not at all because surgeons document outside the office system.

Challenges we solve for general surgery

The work that generic platforms leave to your staff is the work general surgery margin actually turns on.

Global period awareness
Every charge is checked against open global periods, and modifiers 24, 58, 78, and 79 are suggested from documentation.
Decision-for-surgery visits
Modifier 57 or 25 is applied based on whether the procedure that follows is major or minor.
Hospital charge capture
Mobile and hospital charge capture feeds the same validation workflow as office charges.

Not Ready to Switch Yet? That's Exactly When to Start the Conversation.

You don't have to be actively replacing your current system to have a useful conversation with Unlimited Systems. Many specialty practices talk with us months before a contract renewal, system evaluation, or operational change so they can understand where revenue leakage, denial risk, prior authorization delays, and reporting gaps may already be showing up.

Get a DemoBenchmark Your Current Workflow

You don't have to wait until your contract is up to start evaluating your options. The best time to assess your revenue cycle technology is before renewal pressure begins. Unlimited Systems can help you understand where your current workflows may be creating avoidable denials, manual work, charge capture gaps, or reporting limitations, so you're better prepared for renewal, replacement, or future planning.

A support line that never picks up. An overseas call center that's never heard of your account. Errors nobody catches until the denial shows up. We're Midwest-based, not offshore, and the team that answers already knows your account. Practices that switch tend to wish they'd done it sooner.
