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.
