Is Your Hospital Maximizing Its Plastic Surgery Program’s Potential?
When most people think about plastic surgery consulting, they imagine private practice physicians looking for ways to grow their cosmetic or reconstructive practice. But today, hospitals across the country are discovering that expert consulting can make a measurable difference in how efficiently their plastic surgery programs operate.
Our goal is simple: to help board-certified plastic surgeons succeed, whether they practice independently or within a hospital system. This year alone, PS² has partnered with five hospitals to improve operations, optimize coding and reimbursement, and support successful program launches.
How Can a Plastic Surgery Consultant Support Hospital-Based Programs?
Hospitals face a unique challenge when it comes to plastic surgery. The service line often falls between departments; shared OR space, multi-specialty billing, and complex payer rules. That’s where a plastic surgery consultant with true experience in the business of plastic surgery can make a major impact.
PS² works with hospital teams to:
Launch new plastic surgery departments or service lines
Recruit for specialized roles such as plastic surgery-trained coders
Conduct detailed coding audits to improve accuracy and maximize reimbursement
Train staff on delivering the personalized, concierge-level service that plastic surgery patients expect, from consult to post-op care
Improve consult flow, scheduling efficiency, and patient communication
By blending operational insight with specialty expertise, PS² helps hospitals deliver better outcomes for both patients and physicians.
Why Is Plastic Surgery Practice Management Different in a Hospital Setting?
Plastic surgery involves a mix of reconstructive and cosmetic work, each with unique billing and workflow demands. In a hospital environment, these nuances can easily get lost in a large system’s standard processes.
Plastic surgery practice management requires:
Clear separation of cosmetic and reconstructive financials
Tailored patient intake and scheduling workflows
Knowledgeable coding to avoid underbilling or missed opportunities
Alignment between surgeons, coders, practice staff, and administrators
PS² helps hospital teams understand these critical differences and establish systems that keep their surgeons productive and their service lines profitable.
