ModMed claim scrubber for orthopedic
Syntra is an AI claim and chart scrubber for orthopedic practices on ModMed. It reads orthopedic documentation in ModMed against the claim before submission, so missed revenue and denial risk are caught while the encounter can still be corrected.
Example capture
29877 · Arthroscopic chondroplasty
Grade III chondral lesion documented as a distinct therapeutic service with separate symptom attribution. May support reporting CPT 29877 with modifier -59/-XS when not integral to the meniscal procedure, per CCI guidelines.
How does Syntra work with orthopedic documentation in ModMed?
ModMed EMA and ModMed PM already edits the claim that was entered. Syntra reads the orthopedic note in ModMed before that claim is final, so a service written in the chart but missing from the charge, or a modifier the note does not support, is caught while the encounter can still be fixed.
ModMed's specialty-specific EMA templates produce structured documentation. Syntra reads those notes against the claim so Mohs repairs, arthroscopy compartments, and laterality are coded before submission.
Payers commonly require documented failed conservative treatment before advanced imaging, injections, and arthroscopy.
Which orthopedic denials does Syntra prevent on ModMed?
- Arthroscopic procedures bundled under NCCI edits because the distinct compartment or lesion was not documented
- Post-op visits and injections billed inside the 90-day global period
- Laterality and digit modifiers missing on extremity procedures
- DME and injections billed without supporting diagnosis or failed conservative care
Which modifiers does Syntra validate?
- -59 / -XS for separate structures
- -RT / -LT and digit modifiers (-F1, -T1, etc.)
- -24, -57, -58, -78, -79 for global-period work
Common questions
- What is the best claim scrubber for orthopedic on ModMed?
- A clearinghouse scrubber checks the claim after it is built. ModMed's own edits do the same inside the charting system. For orthopedic billing, the gaps that survive those edits are in the note: a documented service that was never coded, or a modifier the note does not support. Syntra is an AI claim and chart scrubber that compares orthopedic documentation in ModMed to codes, modifiers, and payer rules before submission, and it runs alongside the clearinghouse you already use.
- Does ModMed scrub orthopedic claims on its own?
- ModMed EMA and ModMed PM applies claim-level edits. Those rules check the claim that was built, so services documented in a orthopedic note but never coded, and modifiers the note does not support, usually pass through. Syntra adds that chart-level review.
- How long does it take to start on ModMed?
- Practices start with a complimentary retroactive audit of recent orthopedic charts in ModMed, then move to controlled pre-bill review and autonomous submission on eligible encounters over about 90 days.
