We send right away on paper with op, cover letter with comparable cpt/rvu.
Ins companies love to not pay but if the documentation is there you should get paid. I also underline the part of the unlisted surgery for the claims examiner to show exactly where & why we're using the unlisted code.

Okay, thanks for your help. I am still new to Ortho coding, do you have any suggestions for good resources/seminars?

anything by Margie Vaught. I am new as well and went to her conference in New Orleans in Feb. Very informative. I also get great info and resources from this site here.
Most are extremely helpful. Good luck.

Speaking as a payer we do not 'love to not pay'. We simply require appropriate documentation to see what we're paying.
