General surgery operations may happen inpatient or outpatient and can include the work of different specialists, co-surgeons and assisting surgeons. With so many details, it’s more likely that mistakes in coding, low payments or denials will occur if the management isn’t handled by someone who understands medical billing.
More often, several modifiers are used, such as 59, 51, 62 and 80, to detail separate operations, multiple surgeries or the participation of staff, with each modifier affecting how the payments are calculated.

Frequently Asked Questions
1: What is the CPT code for general surgery?
No one code describes all surgery procedures. For Example, the list ranges from 10021-69990, which refers to many types of surgeries such as those on the musculoskeletal system, the respiratory system and the cardiovascular system.
2: What is the 59 modifier used for?
A code of Modifier 59 is used when a separate service is given on the same day as another medical service. Doing this helps protect from being reimbursed in combination with other services.
3: What is the most challenging aspect of general surgery medical billing?
Ensuring complex procedures are properly billed with multiple surgeons makes general surgery billing quite difficult. Payer guidelines and code changes are always evolving, so the professionals must keep track of them all the time.
