PGM: A Trusted Anesthesia Billing Company for Modern Practices
Anesthesiology practices rely on flawless coding, billing, and collections accuracy to protect revenue. PGM delivers specialized anesthesia revenue cycle management (RCM) services designed for the time-based, high-risk nature of anesthesia care. Our team helps anesthesiology groups reduce billing errors, improve collections, and maintain strict compliance — all without adding administrative burden to clinicians or staff.
Anesthesia billing is unlike any other specialty. Claims depend on precise time reporting, correct base units, modifiers, physical status indicators, and payer-specific rules. Even small errors can result in underpayment, delays, or audits. PGM brings together experienced anesthesia billing professionals, proven workflows, and advanced anesthesia billing software to ensure every case is billed accurately and defensibly.
With many anesthesiology billing companies offering generic solutions, practices choose PGM for our deep anesthesia expertise, proactive RCM, and measurable financial results.

A Smarter Anesthesia Billing Partner for Today’s Operating Room
Anesthesia practices operate in fast-paced, high-volume environments where documentation and billing must keep up with surgical schedules. From hospital-based anesthesia groups to ambulatory surgery center (ASC) and office-based practices, billing success depends on aligning clinical care, documentation, and payer requirements.
PGM provides end-to-end anesthesiology billing services tailored to today’s realities of anesthesia workflows. We help practices manage everything from charge capture and coding to claim submission and follow-up, ensuring payments are accurate, timely, and fully supported by documentation.
Our anesthesia billing approach focuses on reducing revenue leakage, improving cash flow consistency, and strengthening long-term anesthesia RCM. The result is a billing process that supports growth while minimizing compliance risk.
Why Anesthesia Billing Requires Specialized Expertise
Billing for anesthesia is highly specialized and leaves little room for error. Unlike many other specialties, anesthesia claims depend on a precise combination of:
- Time units and base units
- Modifiers such as -AA, -QK, -QX, -QY, and -AD
- Physical status modifiers (-P1 – -P6)
- Medical direction and supervision rules
- Payer-specific reimbursement formulas
Incorrect application of any one of these elements can significantly reduce reimbursement or trigger denials.
Payers scrutinize anesthesia claims closely, particularly for medical direction compliance, concurrency limits, and documentation supporting time reporting. Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial insurers each apply their own interpretations, making consistency and accuracy essential.
PGM’s anesthesia billing experts stay current on evolving regulations and payer policies, ensuring claims meet all requirements before submission. Our anesthesia medical billing services are designed to protect practices from denials, audits, and lost revenue while maximizing legitimate reimbursement.
Comprehensive Anesthesia Billing Support Across the Full Revenue Cycle
PGM provides anesthesia billing services that manage the full revenue cycle with precision and accountability. From charge capture through final payment, we ensure every anesthesia claim is accurate, compliant, and submitted without delay.
Our streamlined workflows reduce revenue leakage, shorten payment timelines, and support consistent cash flow for anesthesia practices operating in high-volume, time-sensitive environments.
Time-Based Anesthesia Coding Done Right
Accurate anesthesia billing starts with precise time reporting. Our certified coders calculate base units, time units, and qualifying circumstances correctly for general, regional, and monitored anesthesia care (MAC).
By aligning documentation with CPT and anesthesia-specific codes, we ensure claims reflect the full scope of care delivered and meet payer expectations.
Correct Modifier Use and Medical Direction Compliance
Modifier errors are a leading cause of anesthesia underpayment. PGM applies anesthesia modifiers accurately based on care model and supervision level, including AA, QK, QX, QY, and AD.
We closely monitor medical direction and concurrency rules to ensure compliance with Medicare and commercial payer guidelines, reducing denials and audit risk.
ICD-10 Coding That Supports Clean Claims
Our team applies precise ICD-10 diagnosis codes that support medical necessity and align with surgical procedures and patient risk factors. This accuracy minimizes claim rejections, supports payer reviews, and keeps reimbursement moving.
Measurable Financial Results for Anesthesia Practices
Anesthesia practices working with PGM typically see:
- Improved collections through accurate time and modifier reporting
- Fewer denials tied to documentation or coding issues
- Faster, more predictable payment cycles
- Reduced administrative strain on internal teams
Partnering with PGM means working with an anesthesia billing company focused on sustainable revenue performance and not just claim volume.
