Why Paymedics Stands Out in Plastic Surgery Billing

Plastic surgery billing is complex. You’re not just dealing with codes, you’re dealing with rules that shift depending on whether something is cosmetic reconstructive or somewhere in between

Deep Experience in Plastic Surgery Cases

We work closely with plastic surgery practices and understand how payers view these claims what they look for and where mistakes usually happen

Accurate Coding That Matches the Procedure

We make sure the codes used reflect the actual service provided backed by correct modifiers and documentation, to avoid confusion or unnecessary denials

Support That Simplifies Documentation

You don’t need to over-document or second-guess. We help your staff know what payers want to see especially when claims are likely to be flagged

Smart Handling of Combined Procedures

When a surgery has both cosmetic and reconstructive elements we split and bill it clearly so nothing gets bundled incorrectly or held up by a payer

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you handle both cosmetic and reconstructive plastic surgery billing?

Yes. We bill both, but they’re handled differently. Cosmetic and reconstructive procedures follow different payer rules, and we separate them correctly so claims don’t get stuck.

That happens a lot. If documentation supports medical necessity, we help present it properly and resubmit instead of writing the claim off too quickly.

Yes. Code updates and payer rules are part of daily work now. We adjust workflows as changes roll out so older rules don’t keep causing denials.

We don’t ask for extra work. We review what you already document and let you know if something small is missing before claims are sent.

Yes. We handle prior auths based on payer rules, especially for procedures that are often reviewed closely or delayed without approval.

Those cases are billed carefully. We split services when needed and support each portion properly so payers don’t bundle or reject everything together.

You won’t be guessing. You’ll see what’s billed, what’s paid, what’s delayed, and where follow-up is still needed.

Yes. We don’t treat plastic surgery like general billing. Our team works with these cases regularly and understands how payers review them.
