Wiki Anterior approach hip with computed assistance

[along06]

Question:

If the hospital pays for and supplies the equipment used for the computed assistance can the surgery charge for it? Example 27130(THR) with add on code 20985. He does use the it but does not supply it. The surgeon does not work for the hospital.
