Anyone understand why the NCCI now has 38747, an ADD-ON code for REGIONAL ABDOMINAL lymphadenectomy "(List separately in addition to code for primary procedure)" bundled to virtually all major abdominal surgeries, but with a "1"!? So you could bill it if it was a different incisional site, different trip to the o.r. maybe? Except that would never happen, since it's an add-on, regional, and abdominal. Is this their way of saying "We're leaving this on the fee schedule, but we're never gonna pay it!" or is there some logic I'm missing here?
