Thoracic Surgery Medical Billing Services
Thoracic surgery billing revolves around the surgical global package, complex multi-procedure modifier use, and accurate pre- and post-op visit documentation for chest, lung, and esophageal procedures. CoreStone's thoracic-surgery-trained billing team keeps procedural, global-package, and post-op claims clean and on schedule.
Billing That Understands Thoracic Surgery
From lung resections to esophageal and chest-wall procedures, thoracic surgery practices bill around the surgical global package — pre-op evaluation, the procedure itself, and post-op follow-up — each with its own modifier and documentation rules. Our coders and billers are trained specifically on the codes and payer rules unique to thoracic surgical care.
- ICD-10 coding for lung, esophageal & chest-wall surgical diagnoses
- CPT coding for thoracotomy, VATS & lung resection procedures
- Global surgical package and post-op visit billing accuracy
- Prior authorization support for elective & non-emergent procedures
- Modifier review (staged, related, unrelated) for multi-procedure claims

Caring Revenue Cycle Management For Thoracic Surgery Practices
Thoracic Surgery practices are under constant pressure to raise the standard of care while facing reduced reimbursement, growing regulatory risk, and thinner margins. Maximizing your revenue cycle — billing, coding, and accounts receivable — is essential to keeping up with an increasingly complex payer landscape.
CoreStone is committed to offering the best thoracic surgery billing services available, covering nearly every aspect of the billing and patient revenue cycle. We work to secure the fastest possible reimbursement for your practice — the sooner a clean claim goes out, the sooner you get paid. That's why our billing experts are on call around the clock, working while you sleep.
