I need help. Does anyone have an idea how to bill the following scenario? Surgeon A is doing a mitral valve replacement(33430), Surgeon B, also a cardiac surgeon scrubs in and performs a Maze procedure during the same operative session. I can't bill the add-on code for Surgeon B. Can Surgeon B bill 33256 even though it's the same session as Mitral valve procedure? Would I use the unlisted code for this and send notes? Any help is greatly appreciated.
