For plastic and reconstructive surgeons, practice administrators and billing managers. Updated October 22, 2026 · Prepared by Prospyr. Prospyr makes practice software, not billing services, and none of the companies below is a Prospyr product or partner. This list compares six medical billing companies that publish a dedicated plastic surgery medical billing service on their own websites: companies that code and submit reconstructive claims, chase prior authorizations, work denials and keep cosmetic self-pay separate from insurance. Each summary reflects what the company publishes on its own site, checked October 2026. Nothing here is coding or legal advice. Fees, performance figures and terms change, so confirm everything in writing before you sign.

What does a plastic surgery medical billing company do?

A plastic surgery medical billing company handles the insurance side of a surgical practice: checking each patient's benefits, deciding with your team whether a procedure is reconstructive (and possibly covered) or cosmetic (self-pay), getting prior authorization, coding the operative note, submitting claims, posting payments, appealing denials and following up on unpaid accounts. Plastic surgery is harder to bill than most specialties because the same procedure can be cosmetic for one patient and medically necessary for another, payers ask for documentation of functional impairment, and multi-stage cases such as breast reconstruction span months of global periods and modifiers.

Most aesthetic practices that are 100% cash pay do not need a billing company. You need one when part of your revenue comes from insurers, for example reconstructive breast surgery, reduction mammaplasty, panniculectomy, hand surgery or trauma and skin cancer reconstruction.

How we chose this list

We looked for billing and revenue cycle companies that publish a page specifically about plastic or reconstructive surgery billing, then checked four things a practice administrator can confirm before a sales call:

  1. Plastic surgery specifics. Does the page address cosmetic versus reconstructive coverage, prior authorization, staged reconstruction, global periods or modifiers, rather than generic billing copy?
  2. Scope. Eligibility, authorization, coding, claims, payment posting, denials and A/R follow-up.
  3. Systems. Does it work inside your existing practice and EHR systems, or require its own?
  4. Terms. A published fee model, free audit or clear quoting process.

We left out companies whose main product is practice management or EMR software, and firms whose plastic surgery page is tied to reselling a particular software system, because those compete with Prospyr. Collections agencies and credentialing services are covered in separate lists. The order is our editorial view, not a measure of results. Performance figures quoted below are each company's own claims; ask how they are measured.

1AnnexMed#

AnnexMed is a revenue cycle company headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah, with offices in Chennai and Villupuram, India. It states it has delivered revenue cycle services for more than 20 years.

What stands out:

  • Cosmetic and reconstructive kept apart. Its page describes separating cosmetic self-pay, with financial agreements, upfront collection and payment plans, from insurance-driven reconstructive billing.
  • Staged breast reconstruction. It describes coding each stage under the Women's Health and Cancer Rights Act (WHCRA), including expanders, flaps, symmetry procedures and nipple reconstruction.
  • Prior authorization. End-to-end authorization for procedures such as panniculectomy, breast reduction and rhinoplasty, with medical necessity documentation templates.
  • Stated results. It cites a "90%+" prior authorization approval rate and an "80-88%" denial overturn rate. Treat these as the company's own figures.

It also offers a claims monitoring tool and a client dashboard portal.

Right for: a reconstructive or mixed practice that wants a billing partner with deep plastic surgery process detail. Ask: which work is done in the US versus India, how its stated rates are calculated, and whether it works inside your current practice and EHR systems.

2247 Medical Billing Services#

247 Medical Billing Services (247MBS) states it has provided billing services since 2005. Its plastic surgery page covers triage of cosmetic versus reconstructive cases, medical necessity documentation and prior authorization for procedures like panniculectomy and reduction mammaplasty, coding for flaps, grafts, global periods and modifiers, breast reconstruction mandate billing, and denial management, appeals and A/R follow-up.

What stands out:

  • Works in your systems. It states, "We work inside your existing practice-management and EHR systems."
  • Self-pay support too. Good-faith estimates, upfront collections and financing coordination for cosmetic patients.
  • Fee model. It describes a transaction-based fee "that only grows as your collections do" and a tailored quote within one business day.

Right for: a practice that wants to keep its current software and hand off claims work. Ask: the exact fee basis and minimum, who your dedicated contact is, and how its stated denial and clean-claim figures were measured.

3MBW RCM#

MBW RCM, the Medical Billing Wholesalers brand, lists sales and delivery offices in the US and India and cites 15 years of revenue cycle expertise. Its plastic and reconstructive surgery page focuses on the hard coding cases.

What stands out:

  • Multi-surgeon cases. It names modifier accuracy, multiple-procedure payment reduction handling, and co-surgeon and assistant reporting.
  • Reconstructive documentation. It describes documentation that distinguishes coverage-eligible reconstructive procedures, and coding for scar revisions, facial repairs and complex reconstructions.
  • Denial recovery. It cites a case study recovering $120K lost to coding errors for one practice.
  • Free audit. A no-obligation 30-minute revenue cycle audit; quotes are built around specialty, volume and payer mix.

Right for: a surgical group with co-surgeon cases, complex reconstruction and a denial backlog. Ask: which plastic surgery and EHR systems its team works in, and where your account's coders are based.

4Allzone Management Services#

Allzone Management Services is based in Glendale, California. Its plastic and reconstructive surgery page covers coding for cosmetic, reconstructive and medically necessary procedures, claim scrubbing, submission, payment posting, A/R follow-up, and denial management with medical necessity appeals.

What stands out:

  • Coverage up front. It checks insurance coverage and preauthorization requirements at intake, and identifies whether a service is covered, partially covered or strictly cosmetic.
  • Cosmetic pre-payment. For cosmetic-only procedures, it helps set up patient payment processes so revenue is collected before the service.
  • Denial root causes. It describes reviewing denial trends to fix recurring errors.

Right for: a practice that wants coverage decisions and cosmetic collections handled consistently from the first call. Ask: years in business and plastic surgery client count (not published), and which practice systems it works in.

5Medical Billers and Coders#

Medical Billers and Coders (MBC) describes itself as a US-based revenue cycle management company and publishes plastic surgery billing pages by state. Those pages cover eligibility checks, separating reconstructive from cosmetic services so covered portions go to insurance, coding and modifiers for multi-procedure sessions, and claims for skin substitutes, tissue flaps and post-mastectomy reconstruction.

What stands out:

  • Two ways to engage. A consulting model (software recommendations, revenue leakage review, training) or full outsourcing of billing and coding.
  • A revenue diagnostic. It reviews plastic surgery billing by procedure, payer and operative session and compares A/R aging to specialty benchmarks.

Right for: a practice that wants an outside review of its in-house billing before deciding whether to outsource. Ask: pricing, who the assigned billers are, and how many plastic surgery practices it serves.

6SybridMD#

SybridMD offers plastic surgery billing that covers payer coverage rules for cosmetic services, prior authorization for breast reconstruction and panniculectomy, claim scrubbing, coding, denial analysis and appeals with clinical peer support, A/R follow-up and patient collections for cosmetic self-pay. It also lists credentialing and reporting, and states it integrates with your existing EHR, practice management system and clearinghouse.

Right for: a smaller practice that wants billing and provider credentialing from one vendor. Ask: where the company and its billing team are based, years in business and plastic surgery references, since its specialty page shares wording with other specialties.

Questions to ask any plastic surgery billing company

  1. How do you decide cosmetic versus reconstructive? Ask who reviews the documentation and when the patient is told what insurance may cover.
  2. Who handles prior authorization, and how fast? Get a target turnaround and how you will see status.
  3. What is the fee, and what is it a percentage of? Collections, charges or claims. Ask about minimums, setup fees and fees on patient payments.
  4. Which systems will you work in? Confirm they can work in your current practice and EHR systems and who pays for any clearinghouse.
  5. Where is the team, and will you sign a BAA? Ask where coders and billers are located and how access to records is controlled. See our HIPAA compliance consultants list for outside review.
  6. What reports do I get each month? Days in A/R, denial rate by reason, first-pass claim rate and collections by payer.
  7. How do I leave? Notice period, data return and who owns payer portal logins.

Where Prospyr fits

Prospyr doesn't do insurance billing today. It runs the cash-pay and practice side of a plastic surgery or aesthetic practice: online scheduling including surgical bookings, aesthetic charting, deposits and payments, memberships and packages, lead management and analytics. Practices that bill insurers for reconstructive or other covered work keep a dedicated billing partner like the companies above alongside Prospyr. To see how that split works day to day, book a practice demo.

Frequently asked questions

Do plastic surgeons need a medical billing company?

Only if they bill insurance. A fully cosmetic, cash-pay practice collects from patients directly and usually does not need one. Practices with reconstructive, breast, hand or other covered work often outsource billing because of prior authorizations, medical necessity documentation and denials.

How much do medical billing companies charge plastic surgeons?

None of the companies on this list publishes a rate on its plastic surgery page. 247 Medical Billing Services describes a transaction-based fee tied to collections; the others quote after reviewing your specialty, volume and payer mix. Ask every company what the fee is a percentage of and whether there are minimums.

Can a billing company bill insurance for cosmetic procedures?

Cosmetic procedures are generally not covered by insurance and are paid by the patient. A billing company's job is to help separate covered reconstructive services from cosmetic ones based on the payer's rules and your documentation, not to make a cosmetic procedure billable. Your surgeon and payer policies decide coverage.

Should a plastic surgery practice outsource billing or keep it in house?

Outsourcing tends to help practices with modest insurance volume, high turnover in billing roles or a denial backlog. Larger reconstructive practices sometimes keep an in-house team and use an outside firm for audits or overflow. Several companies here, including Medical Billers and Coders and MBW RCM, offer a review before full outsourcing.

Does Prospyr do insurance billing?

No. Prospyr doesn't do insurance billing today. Practices that bill payers use a dedicated billing partner alongside Prospyr, which handles scheduling, charting, cash-pay payments, memberships and reporting.
