Advanced ASC Billing and Coding to Elevate Your Practice
ASC billing practices according to the latest advancements in complex compliance regulations. Practice credentialing with maximum payers on suitable terms — through our payer contracting services — to ensure a significant increase in your reimbursement rate.
Our professionals fully understand and respect your busy schedule with patients outside the hospital setting. Thus, to relieve the burden, they carefully handle the billing aspect of your ASC practice. Our team studies all your practice and patient details carefully to code everything accurately in compliance with ICD-10 and CPT.
Further, we know that outside patient dealing brings increased risks of data leakage and penalties. Hence, our team stores patients’ PHI in secured systems for ultimate data protection. Moreover, the transcriptionists stick to the “need-to-know” principle — the same HIPAA-compliant standard behind our transcription services — and observe all privacy standards. The staff also migrates data to advanced systems, through secure data migration, maintaining strict confidentiality.

Frequently Asked Questions
Efficient ASC billing is crucial to providing high-quality ambulatory care. However, providers have their concerns regarding the process. Below we have answered some questions that they frequently ask. Whether you’re practicing ambulatory care individually or affiliated with a hospital, these will effectively clear your confusion. Let’s have a look:
1) What documentation is needed to support ASC billing?
ASC billing requires accurate, detailed documentation of the pre-operative evaluation, procedure notes, anesthesia records, and postoperative care. Even small gaps in this record are a leading cause of ASC denials — complete documentation is the claim’s foundation.
2) How do I stay updated on changes in ASC billing regulations?
MarkLab’s billing specialists undergo regular training to stay current with ASC billing regulation revisions — including Medicare’s ASC fee schedule updates — and communicate those changes to clients directly, so your center is never caught working from outdated rules.
3) How does ASC billing differ from hospital outpatient billing?
ASCs are reimbursed under the ASC fee schedule rather than hospital outpatient (OPPS) rates, and claims typically split the facility charge from the professional component, which surgeons bill separately with modifier -26. Medicare also recognizes modifier SG to identify the ASC facility service tied to a same-day procedure.
