Good Morning:
I am having co-surgeon claims denied just this year for code 43117 stating this is a once in a lifetime procedure and will only be paid to one surgeon.
I have been with this office for 18 years and have never had this type denial. I can find no supporting documentation of this being a once in a lifetime procedure. Does anyone out there know where I may locate documentation. I have searched CMS website, as well as AAPC, and AMA.
Thanks for any assistance.
