Orthopedic Billing Services
Orthopedics is a medical specialty that deals with the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of conditions related to the musculoskeletal system. This includes bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, tendons, and nerves.

It’s crucial to ensure healthcare providers receive payment for their services.
