Changing Medicare payment policies, Modifier 25 proposals, global-period rules, and growing coding demands can put podiatry revenue at risk. Practices need billing oversight that identifies reimbursement issues before they become costly. Steady Medical Billing delivers podiatry medical billing services focused on accurate coding, clean claims, denial prevention, A/R recovery, and payer compliance helping podiatry practices protect reimbursement while maintaining efficient revenue cycle operations.
Medicare reimbursement rules continue to change, creating additional considerations for podiatry practices when E/M services are reported alongside procedures. The CY 2027 proposed Physician Fee Schedule includes a proposal addressing same-day E/M services furnished with procedures subject to 0-, 10-, or 90-day global periods. Steady Medical Billing helps podiatry practices review these billing patterns before they create reimbursement issues. Our team analyzes same-day E/M and procedure billing, reviews Modifier 25 documentation, monitors global-period requirements, and evaluates payer responses. What We Monitor for Podiatry Practices.
