In the evolving healthcare industry, gastroenterology specialization is no different. This forte comes with its unique set of challenges. With rising patient volumes, complex procedures, and ever-changing payer regulations, managing the financial side of a GI practice today is more overwhelming than ever.

Understanding the basics of Gastroenterology billing practice  

Gastroenterology is a procedure-intensive specialty. From colonoscopies and endoscopies to biopsies and motility studies, each service requires precise coding and proper documentation. With a much clearer understanding of modifier usage and bundling guidelines, gastroenterology billers need to be thorough. In fact, one of the most frequent problems faced by GI providers is the misclassification of procedures, particularly the confusion between screening and diagnostic colonoscopies. A small oversight in coding or documentation can trigger denials, underpayments, or even audits. Moreover, modifiers like 51, 59, 33, and 76 are seen quite critical in reporting multiple procedures on the same day, yet they are commonly misused, further complicating the reimbursement process. Thus, managing the billing process comes with a lot of experience. While these nuances make gastroenterology billing significantly more complex than general medical billing, it necessitates the expertise of dedicated gastroenterology billing companies.  

And SunKnowledge understands these complexities and offers an end-to-end gastroenterology billing solution. Designed to support the full spectrum of services offered by GI practices, our process begins with accurate charge entry and continues through CPT and ICD-10 compliant coding, claim submission, denial management, payment posting, and detailed reporting. Our experienced gastroenterologist coders not only specialize in codes such as 45378 but even excel when it comes to manage diagnostic colonoscopy, 43239 for EGD with biopsy, and 91110 for GI motility studies, ensuring precision at every step. In addition to our coding expertise, we also handle prior authorizations, eligibility verifications, and chronic care management support, all under strict HIPAA compliance.
