The Challenge

Orthopedic billing is uniquely complex. We know it cold.

High-complexity care comes with high-complexity billing — and most generalist RCM vendors aren’t equipped to handle it. SCALE is.

01

Global-Period & Staged-Surgery Complexity

Orthopedic surgery relies on global-period and staged-procedure modifiers (58/78/79) that drive denials when misapplied.

02

Implant & DME Revenue Leakage

Implant invoices, hardware carve-outs, and in-office DME dispensing are frequently under-captured.

03

High-Cost Authorization Burden

Joint replacement, spine procedures, and advanced imaging carry intensive prior-auth requirements that stall revenue.
