Expert Accounting and Advisory Services for Orthopedic Practices

Orthopedic practices juggle high patient volumes, costly implants and technology, and complex billing processes—all while navigating declining reimbursements from Medicare and private insurers. With pressure from shrinking margins, regulatory compliance challenges, and expensive malpractice coverage, practices need specialist financial support. Reed Tinsley delivers dedicated CPA, advisory, and tax services crafted for orthopedic groups to help improve profitability, compliance, and sustainable growth. 

Addressing Financial Challenges in Orthopedics

Financial challenges in orthopedics have intensified as reimbursement rates steadily decline—Medicare payments have fallen nearly 3% in 2025, with commercial payers following suit—requiring tighter billing efficiency and cost control. Orthopedic billing is also highly complex: procedures often involve multiple modifiers, implants, and bundled payments, and even small denial rates above 5% can erode revenue significantly. Practices face additional hurdles like prior authorizations, policy variation across care settings, and administrative burden, with clinicians spending over 14 hours a week on non-clinical tasks. Managing these complexities while transitioning to value-based or bundled payment models adds further financial pressure.
