In the past, my doctors have stated the assistant was present and assisted with the entire operation, but I have one doctor that says one assistant opened and another closed. I haven't had much luck getting two assistants paid. When there are cosurgeons - mod 62, one will often open and close while the other does the rest of the surgical portion- the cpt is split, is it the same with mod AS? I can't find any guidelines regarding how much an assistant has to perform to be able to charge for it. Anyone have any ideas?
